[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1823224, member: 6291"] Nutrition doesn't always mean feed. It may mean investing in you grass, rotating, lower numbers, or just matching the right animals with your forage. There are a lot of ways to boost nutrition with out feeding from a sack. Epds are overwhelming to me also. I'm very simple minded so I basically buy the most growth we can afford out of a moderate sized animal and a moderate sized calf. Only thing else I watch for is high milking numbers which I stay away from. They always hurt me more than help me. I do believe in registered bulls for the data to work from. It's not 100% but it's better than nothing. If a commercial producer can give me calf and growth data on their bulls I will consider them also. [/QUOTE]
