[QUOTE="artesianspringsfarm, post: 1156048, member: 20360"] Assume you meant assess. There are maternal and disposition EPDs available as a selection tool in the Angus breed. So there's that tool. Disposition heavily impacts a cow's maternal qualities. However, the best source of information is word of mouth connection to other breeders, professional show jocks and fitters in Missouri. I know several professional fitters. People whose services are in demand for high profile registered production sales. You can learn a lot about the big dog herds around the country and of any problems others are having with the progeny of certain heavily used sires. Two of my semen jocks are in this category. Additionally, the American Angus Association is headquartered 20 miles away in St. Joe. So, I guess those of us raising Angus in this area have a bit of an advantage in terms of inside info.[/quote] There you guys go, us folks outside the registered BS game and the glorious corn belt are just plain out of luck. Guess I will keep feeding apple cores and potato skins :)[/quote] :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: Oh man, AllForage, I've missed having your alternative voice of sarcastic common sense. Please post more! Hope your are doing well. If you have any current pics of those potato fed bulls of yours I would love to see them. [/QUOTE]
