[QUOTE="Cattle Rack Rancher, post: 40209, member: 245"] I've heard of guys who once they've got their bull calves selected that they are going to keep for sale, throw them in with dairy cows to maximize the milk they get and creep feed the heck out of them to get their weaning weight up. As a cow-calf guy, that along with birth weight and frame score, is the EPD I pay closest attention to, so that concerns me a bit. But I guess part of it is knowing the producer you are dealing with. Incidentally, I was reading the other day that the average seedstock producer has been in the business less than 7 years. Interesting, eh? [/QUOTE]
