[QUOTE="dun, post: 21101, member: 34"] We have several cows each year that we breed to specific bulls hoping to get replacment heifers. Because usually we about 50% of those have bulls they end up in the marketing program. We don't dither with terminal sires. To keep uniformity over the entire calf crop we use similar bulls for growth, weight, muscle, etc. on all they cows/heifers. The ones we hope to retain heifers from we use bulls that meet the same criteria but also excell in maternal even if they give up a little in carcass value. Of course if we didn't use EPDs it would be a pure guessing game. I just had to poke a stick. dun [/QUOTE]
