[QUOTE="Dana Kopp, post: 85475, member: 873"] These are yearling bulls, finding one with more than .30 acc is nice, most aren't that high. The dam side of the pedigrees are all solid, their EPD accuracy generally are .05 to .20 because they are younger cows and there is still a lot of data out on some of the bloodlines, not a lot of AHIR data yet. Cow sires/grandsires include VDAR New Trend 315, GDAR Traveler 71, Basin Emulation 5653, and a Bando (i forget which one). Though commercial, my cows almost all have registered black Angus sires or Grand-sires, including GT Sentry, Committment, Conneally Dateline, and several others...They all produce very good calves and have good milk. I would like to see more butt on my calves - we have great carcass reports but the fat is higher than I'd like on the back. But I don't want to lose calving ease...I don't ask too much do I???
