[QUOTE="Bestoutwest, post: 1608504, member: 19397"] Retaining heifers, and freezer beef for the steers (we're small, it's more lucrative to sell freezer beef). I look at all EPD's and choose ones that have "higher accuracy" and who have a lot of recorded calves. The first year we AI'd it was to Quaker Hill Rampage who had low accuracies and that did not work out well for us. Lesson learned. Calving ease, Docility and $B are the tops we breed for, but we're trying to improve our $EN as well (which I've noticed has a direct negative correlation to a high $B). I have a Universal rep and ABS rep in the area, and both will stick the cows for me. [u]Universal Bulls[/u] Hoover Dam (I'd love to have some calves out of him) KCF Bennett Absolute Bubs Southern Charm [u]ABS Bulls[/u] Resistol 3710B Sydgen Enhance (I think he's moving to my first choice for ABS) Thomas Up River 1614 [/QUOTE]
