[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1479268, member: 16453"] There is a trend here to selecting bulls with +ve fat EBV's for rib fat and rump fat (we have a separate EBV for rib and rump fat), not so much for the steer progeny but to produce easy keeping heifers/cows. My best cow family is not that easy keeping but they sure are fertile and go straight back in calf so I think that is a good balance between easy keeping and milking ability. Ken [/QUOTE]
