Theoretically they do. But, it depends on the other side of the specific equation also. If you bred a chimp with a human, and it worked, he or she might could climb trees or might could swim or do both speaking Chinese if taught.

Can you explain the heat seeking missile technique in photo #2?

That is what they say. I never met him though or any other angel, I don't think.

It is amazing people voted for Adolp.

I don't think Adolph or Sadaam ran for office before they were eliminated.

Excellent growth spurt from weaning to yearling but not to many posters here prefer growth like this. He is almost a double.

Just joking....try changing your name to Hereford9259....or maybe change mine to AngusSire. :mrgreen:

Thinking out of the box trying to be humorous.... Let's say you were a military general dictator about 100 years ago. You want to become a military powerhouse so what can you do? Get the men with the best genetics to provide semen samples. Store these samples in a secure place. Make sure...

Excellent thought! It is a real pleasure to converse with someone thinking out of the box! If a cow calved in less than a year so that over a long period of about 12 years, one extra calf was born, the same thing could happen. But, it will not be larger than the GOLDEN RATIO, that is, unless...

I was merely illustrating the maximum. In God's world, it is impossible to reproduce higher than the GOLDEN RATIO.

1.618 is the GOLDEN RATIO It is the difference of each number in the following number sequence... 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, etc. So theoretically, if you used sexed semen for your cows, and all of them lived, and each calved each year at year two, then the maximum increase of...

Sexed semen allows one to increase a homegrown herd size by reproducing and approaches the maximum ratio of 1.618 In other words... ---------------------------------------------- Female #1 has 10 heifers in 12 years. ---------------------------------------------- Year #3 Female has heifer =...

On the contrary, it could be that Val could help the crowd that are stuck in a rut and are not willing to adapt to their full potential of breeding cattle.

Van...I agree, but I didn't think anyone would want to share net profit...plus not all of us have the same overhead, such as land payments, etc. Generally, I would think the higher the gross sales, the higher the likelihood of net profit.

How many mouse traps come in a pack at Wal-Mart because I don't like cats? :P

Very good post. The truth is in the frogskins. Let me see your ethical bottom line (or top line per animal in Val's case). $2,500 each for three bull calves from one cow sounds pretty good to me. Any one here beat this?

I thought I lost you on that one. :mrgreen: Let me think for awhile so I can show a good example. By the way, you mentioned the word "purely" as in looking at data. Of course all ranchers don't look at genetic data and I am not referring to this as sense usage.

My hypothesis can be proved when you are unable to prove your statement. Please provide links to your research.

There could be 1,000,000 ranchers performing less genetic research, evaluation, and real world practical testing with good cow sense than university grad students, professors, etc.

How many ranchers does that leave.....1,000,000?
