[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 620227, member: 4353"] George, I have no dog in this fight, but I have seen when a high milk EBV bull was used alot in corrective type of matings on cows who's maternal qualities was suspect to say the least. The result is a dramatic drop in the bull's milk figures (that corrected itself over time), but the fact remains that in the short term using a bull primarily in a corrective manner can play a big role in the initial fluctuations of his breeding values. If you ever tried to really add milk to your herd you'll understand what an uphill battle that can be unless you really go and use extremes. [/QUOTE]
