[QUOTE="Larry Sansom, post: 140077, member: 332"] $EN epd figure gives you an estimate of Savings on maintenance energy requirement - so the larger the number the better you will be on the highest variable on profit in the cattle industry - Feed Cost. If you are breeding for replacement heifers - that figure should be top consideration. Other requirements that your cows need should also be considered as has already been suggested. Again - Depends on what you want - but since most want profit - consider your cost as well as you gross in the cattle business. High growth is nice - but it does not come free, you often have to feed extra feed, creep feed or extra cow feed if your are to realize the extra growth. It is "Net" income not gross income. This board has every opinion out there from bucking bulls to show bulls to forage efficient cattle - so your responses to this question will also be a wide area. [/QUOTE]
