[QUOTE="bse, post: 1371366, member: 13989"] 1st off I can't read any numbers even with my glasses. For me I need pedigree along with EPDs to make decisions, way to many unknowns with what your saying. They are saying the milk is to high, if your cows need more milk then that's the selection you want. For heavier calves if you sell at weaning a higher weaning weight, sell as yearlings higher YW. Id pick the most important thing I want to accomplish and work from there. You said you wanted to use him as heifer bull then later as herd bull, I wouldn't use a heifer bull on mature cows in a commercial operation, you give up some growth, and maybe to much LBW stacked doing that in my opinion. It depends on number of animals if it's practical for 2 types of bulls. There are bulls out there that can do both, not many with higher acc that are not in bull stud. [/QUOTE]
