[QUOTE="Air gator, post: 1499359, member: 20755"] Just wondering how much attention do you pay to $EN and DMI? When I looked at DMI it seemed that there were a lot of bulls that were good for DMI and bad for $EN and I wasn't expecting that. I spoke to a cattle buyer and he didn't seem to care about either. They are interested in $B primarily. If you are building a herd I don't think you can only look at $B. $EN is another matter. Where do you draw the line on $EN or what would you consider out of bounds for a $EN number? Is there a sweet spot? I notice that even though Connealy Thunder and Hoover Dam both have milk epds of 24 they are positive for $EN. I am just wondering if $EN is more reliable now then the milk epd since the numbers changed. Does anyone value DMI or is it only $EN? Thanks for your feedback. [/QUOTE]
