What really defines an outcross sire today?

 

How do we avoid “inbreeding depression” when the new sires are all related?

How do we avoid breeding cows too big for our freestalls, too straight-legged to walk concrete alleys, too short-teated to milk out without liner slippage?

How do we avoid making cows too narrow and shallow to eat a least-cost forage-based ration?     Cows who also need hoof-trimming constantly to avoid lameness?    

How do we breed cows to get a full lifetime of production, so we are not stuck with fast cow turnover and $3500+ replacement cow auction values?

 

We know how.    Maybe it is time you ask us for a little help.
