[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1767386, member: 24565"] Hope it works. A number of "named herds" are chasing the combo of high $M and high $C. The two seem to be opposites as one is selecting heifers as replacements and one is selecting heifers for the feedlot. But bigger is better, AAA wouldn't be the same without a hot fad for extreme values of something so the show must go on. I spent some time on a sale catalog that boasts of the high $M/$C combo. I did some sorting on things that matter and less than 1% were worth considering. I do not see that the indexes are improving the breed when foot scores, SC and REA are still poor and BWs are such a wide range. I hope somebody can make it work. It will not be me. [/QUOTE]
