[QUOTE="jscunn, post: 79851, member: 1257"] Doc you might also want to consider Scrotal Circumference EPD and make sure it is positive. Some studies have shown a correlation between Scrotal Circ. EPD and fertility in his daughters. Also low SC bulls MAY have trouble breeding lots of cows. I personally would lower your BW target to 2.0 to 2.5. If your heifers are pretty wide and well taken care of at calving 3 should be OK. I dont want to get into the milk discussion because I am from the deep south and we have grass almost year round if you consider our oat and rye grass winter pasture. One of our bulls milk EPD is 29 but I dont have any cows out of him just bred heifers. Consider your environment on the milk. [/QUOTE]
