Yeah we try and do the same, aiming for a real nice cross herd. Our cows are somewhere up in the top % and perform really well which comes from such selective breeding.
I can’t edit my earlier statement but I went through my notebook and out of 45 wagyu calves last season we had 9 assist to different levels. And out of 180 calvings we had I think it was 6 assists of x bred.
This season was 5 wagyu assist and a handful of x bred assists of different levels.
