[QUOTE="rocket2222, post: 310216, member: 5362"] On Feltons 517, he came along at the very end of the big frame era. There were alot of breeders out there that had alot of big frame cows with high BW's, good growth and no milk. 517 had it all, low BW, growth and MILK. Needless to say he was used alot. Some of his swings in BW WW etc numbers surely came from being bred to very large cows with huge bw epd's. He was also used alot to bring up the WW and YW and keep the milk on low BW cows with no growth numbers to speak of. This would account his low actual bw numbers. There were a couple of breeders that IMO that really came to the top of the breeders list during this period in time, one was Feltons the other was Witherspoons/MSU with Z03. They ignored the trends of the day and bred well balanced cattle with balanced epd's, and it payed off for them. [/QUOTE]
