[QUOTE="simme, post: 1850820, member: 40418"] Cow's epd is in the 70 percentile for weaning weight (bottom 30% of breed). So, the cow was not picked for her epd's or to chase numbers. She was picked because she reliably settles to AI, and has produced some nice calves. Her first calf went to the Clemson bull test. Second calf was retained as a replacement. Third calf belongs to Kenny. Fourth calf (bull) was just weaned and appears to be high growth. Bred back on first service to a baldy bull for the next calf. Hoping for a heifer. My cows are mostly low to medium epd cows. Every cow in my little herd has 600U in the pedigree - most multiple times. [/QUOTE]
