[QUOTE="Dsth, post: 1691472, member: 38038"] I used CC&7 several years ago. at the time, he was the highest rated docility bull in the angus breed. every heifer that I got out of him was very docile and have three or four generations that the docility has carried through. As stated in an earlier post, Hoover Dam (a CC&7 son) would be a very good choice. I like to stay in the top 30% EPDs when selecting AI bulls with a relatively high accuracy. I stay away from the younger bulls with high docility unless I like the rest of their EPDs. I agree that EPDs are not always accurate but they are a good tool to use when selecting for desirable traits. I am currently using ABS sires Hickok and Jet Black which seem to be passing on docile calves but mine are not up to breeding age yet but I do pay close attention for docility when we do chute work on the younger calves.
