[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1646133, member: 6291"] I think that's where buying balanced bulls come in. When I raise a cow I know her genetic performance first hand, in the conditions her offspring will be asked to perform in. With bulls your trusting an epd that can be manipulated or misrepresented or just not the same in your conditions. Chasing a certain EPD in a bull seems extremely risky. I look at bulls like a fresh coat paint. It can make all the difference by adding value, freshening the look, preservation, etc.... but if the foundation of what your slapping the paint on is junk you got nothing. I guess that's why I dont sweat bulls.... I know the cows and what they are going to do. [/QUOTE]
