[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 379873, member: 2095"] I can remember when the HOT growth sires in their respective breeds were Enforcer 107H and Scotch Cap. According to the percentile break downs, on weaning wt EPD 85% of the Hereford breed today is growthier than Enforcer was and 70% of the Angus sires today are growthier than the massive Scotch Cap. I find that hard to believe and I don't know if this is all good; but being "below breed average" on the growth EPDs MIGHT not be a bad place to be for herds with a forage focus. [/QUOTE]
