[QUOTE="Midtenn, post: 1306235, member: 24781"] I forgot a few decimal points in criteria. But my point is, you're exactly right. There is no one angus bull that will meet all my criteria. If I'm going to just keep going toward a "target bull", I may as well save myself some money and stick to the one I've got for now. He has the phenotype, epd numbers (although low accuracy), calves on the ground looking good so far. maybe buy an additional one similar to him, and keep my other bull (girly looking but real CE low BW) strictly for use on heifers. There seems to be a lot of disagreement on here between the experts as to how they would implement AI in to a mixed herd such as mine. I have certain cows that need improvement in certain areas. Others I don't want to screw with their genetics too much and mess them up. It's amazing how many different opinions are on here. I'm just trying to maximize and improve profit and quality. [/QUOTE]
