[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1321016, member: 1715"] I just re read part of Newman Turner' 1952 Herdsmanship book. No DNA or EPD numbers back then, so he focused on identifying "self breeders" who were prepotent for key traits. He felt culling was a negative practice, and that focusing more on selection would result in a better herd. The how to example that stuck with me was selecting bulls from top cow families in closely bred herds. [/QUOTE]
