[QUOTE="FungusProudKY31, post: 1699718, member: 40881"] I have a hard time figuring the MM, $EN and such on mainstream cattle. As a learning tool, you can go to Wye Angus data and see what high + $EN does on growth, fat and such. To me, that extreme is not attractive to a profitable situation. There seems to be a flaw between growth and milk in the actual EPDs much less the $EN index. So you have to look at MW and MH, MM and go from there. $M was an interesting index until it got swept up in the world of fad seekers. By the time you cull for CEM, HP, feet ... the offering is pretty limited. Middle ground is the place to get growth and cow breed-back on forages but that is a moving target with EPV inflation.
