[QUOTE="Bcompton53, post: 1554505, member: 38094"] So our angus cow/calf operation is trying to work toward a fairly low input herd. I don’t care about having the biggest calves at the same barn, I’d rather have medium, efficient cows for eastern Kansas brome pasture. I use Select sir bulls. If someone wants to suggest specific bulls they would use, that’s fine, but I’m really interested in what epds you all would pay attention to when working toward a goal like mine, and additionally are there rule of thumb guidelines as far as what numbers you’d like to see. For example, “i try to keep milk levels about average, like 22-26” I seem to reference $en some, but many of the mainstream bulls are well below breed average. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
