[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 1292878, member: 97"] I agree... DOC is one of the newer angus EPD's and I'm not too confident in its complete reliability... But that said- I like to go with those with the predicted higher DOC EPD- especially if they have had the genetic profiling done on them because I work hard on trying to keep building on that trait.. Yesterday when the below zero temps hit I had a new waterer getting some ice on it- and in order to turn the thermostat on I need to take the sideplate off and get down on my back to look in and find where the thermostat was...While I was lying there working on it I felt a few drops of water on me- I looked up and their stood the 124 cow standing over me drinking from the waterer and watching me...She stayed there and kept drinking while I put the side plate back on- and then wandered off... My presence didn't excite her one bit- and that's the kind of docility I look for... [/QUOTE]
