[QUOTE="3waycross, post: 626736, member: 6713"] Well that's what you get when you post when you're tired. Thanks for correcting me Dun, it is in fact MAINTENANCE not MATERNAL efficiency. However at the end of the day it means the same thing. If it takes more feed to keep your COWS in breeding and or lactating condition then they are not going to be as efficient. As always a balanced approach to EPD's is the smart way to go. For the record the statement I made in my earlier post RE, Cherokee Canyon is not so much about the ease with which his calves are born (CE) but the really low calving ease on his daughters and grandaughters(CED) my best info is that this is not a correlation to birthweight but a pelvic issue. If I was looking for a maternal bull I would look for GOOD CE numbers and GREAT CED numbers along with MILK and TM being moderate not extreme either way. [/QUOTE]
