In Eastern Europe, where I live, there is a limited option of US bulls. I have been reviewing the Angus bulls of Semex, qualified for EU, and one of their bulls is PEAK DOT OUTLOOK 271C, reg. # 18496447, sired by FREYS OPPORTUNITY 148A. Most striking (to me at least) are the following differences:
EPD Sire Son
Milk Top 10% Bottom 5%
$EN Bottom 5% Top 15%
REA Top 2% Bottom 10%

My question is it possible such a huge shift in these traits in just one generation? Second question is would you recommend using PEAK DOT OUTLOOK 271C in my grass-fed operation?
Thanks.
