[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1582577, member: 24816"] Not sure about the new $M index, and what I’m going to contribute is probably worthless as usual but hasn’t stopped me yet. I was at a cattle meeting at an extension office and the speaker from UK was talking about EPD’s and the $W and $B indexes in selecting for bulls. So this 2 or 3 years back but said that if selling calves right of the cow ie “ trailer weaning “ then $ W was the index to use but if you were feeding out your calves even if just backgrounding them for 45 or 60 days then to go with the $B index. Again I don’t know about the new one but am guessing it is a possible extension of $W that adds in some more maternal factors? [/QUOTE]
