[QUOTE="lakading, post: 882986, member: 3173"] I like his dam & the few daughters of his that I've seen. I also like that he's more balanced than extreme in most of his EPDs. I do wish his scrotal and docility EPDs were higher. But I don't keep any cows around that have temperment issues, so I don't see the DOC being a problem. As far as the scrotal EPD goes, EXT had a terrible scrotal EPD and he turned out to be quite the cow maker. So although I'd like Density's scrotal EPD to be higher, I won't hold that against him in regards to his ability to be a maternal sire. Also, I wish the milk EPD was a little lower. But I do think that the milk EPDs are quite skewed by management practices at times, so I don't worry too much about his milk EPD either. He's only coming 8, so his true value as a maternal sire probably won't be fully realized for another 5+ years. But I really like what I see so far. [/QUOTE]
