[QUOTE="slamotto, post: 922843, member: 18241"] If you were looking to AI breed a holstein heifer to an Angus bull, what traits would you look for in the bull to help eliminate the dairy look? (Any resulting bull calves would be raised as steers, heifers kept as mothers to be bred to beef breed again.) CED and BW would be important, since we are dealing with first calf holstein heifers, right? What other EPDs would you look at? Obviously, the resulting Holstein/Angus are probably going to produce plenty of milk...so would you select a bull with low Milk numbers? Would a bull with negative Yearling height be desirable?
