[QUOTE="Faraway, post: 1305657, member: 1378"] Cotton, I don't think Eb is talking about high milk EPD vs high maternal EPD. I'm not sure what the value of the maternal EPD is, since its just the sum of the milk EPD and 1/2 of the weaning weight EPD. And you got it right I think- the cows that are high milk EPD and high maternal EPD are very likely to be big growthy cows that are more in the line of cornfed higher maintenance cows. I doubt Eb would consider these high maternal EPD cows to be "highly maternal" cows. [/QUOTE]
