EMBRYO TRANSFER PROGRAM: Just a short note here to advise you about some information on our ET program. Please remember that the calves that are ET calves are not raised on their natural mother, but in- stead a recip cow. Some of these recip cows do not have that natural ability to milk and feed a calf the way the original ET mama cow does. Therefore, sometimes the performance of an ET calf is not as good as her natural calf is, but the genetics are still there to produce that type of performance.
