[QUOTE="jscunn, post: 126449, member: 1257"] I think you are both overanalyzing the point certain bloodlines do give you certain traits for example: EXT- moderate frame , udder improvement, SOME temperament problems. 6807- moderate frame Connection - disposition improver 6I6 - same. While this is not the case with all of EXT progeny, knowing what other people are using may help tell you what type of cattle "phenotypically" that they have. If all of Frankie's cows are out of Pine Drive Big Sky I can assume(yes I know what assuming means) That she does not value moderate framed cattle. Knowing what pedigrees of cattle someone helps you understand that persons market and if they live near you that is your market as well. I am not saying by a sorry old EXT cow because she is an EXT. I am saying that your neighbor "competitor" is using moderate cows bred to "carcass" (Insert hot trend here) and is successful then you need to align yourself in that direction by purchasing/breeding to pedigrees like that. IF (big if) they are phenotypically correct and have the right convienence traits (Feet, legs, disposition, udder, etc.) I know this is not clear let me summarize. Pedigrees are a tool. like EPDs but the most important factor for purchasing/breeding to a bull/cow is visual evaluation. [/QUOTE]
