Built the same, same udder, same width and deptch, etc. One cow bred to about anything has calves that always go choice and usually high choice. The other cow bred to the same bulls or even to a strictly ribeye and marbeling bull has never had a calf that is anything but barely middle select.aussie_cowgirl":32aqjdd5 said:I can find a better bull with good rib eye and marbling. People shouldn't look past confirmation. You don't eat feet but if they're shoddy you're screwed. I'll look at a bull, confirmation wise and then look at his EPD's. I don't care if you think that's wrong. A bull with good confirmation, good muscle growth etc, will normally have good EPD's. If he doesn't I'll move on. Simple. It makes me super selective but my herd will benefit from that.
What I mean Dun is that I can find a bull with good confirmation and muscle growth and what not, with his EPDs indicating good rib eye and muscling. It sure whittles down the group but atleast I know I have a good bull.
