[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1562126, member: 24565"] Top 90 bulls in AAA Sire search for $B. All express WW of +49 or higher. But the CED is all over the board. A search for top $B does not eliminate options for calving ease if that is a sales point for customers. Lot of variation in $E but the majority are negative, as expected. Afterall $B is a terminal type selection index. The Southern Charm bull that has been mentioned is an anomaly with maybe the lowest MH and MW for this group of 90. To round out the discussion that has been on going for days, there are 2 SAV bulls of the 90. I would need a guru to explain this statement from the AAA. Do you just harvest them when they reach a max weight or is there expectation that some factors such as YW or MW will automatically kick in a HW discount? Still does not prevent a line of mostly maternal and moderate growth commercial or Angus cattle from producing valuable steers. Just breed them to a high $B bull or a high growth bull of another breed. [/QUOTE]
