[QUOTE="talltimber, post: 1372195, member: 22236"] I would say it is at least more than a chance that his sire is not an outlier. It appears there are several in the pedigree that are high in milk and some negatives in EN. So, I would assume it would have to be intentional. The breeder of this young bull appears like he is bringing the milk/EN down by his mating, or is just a coincidence, I do not know his thoughts. If I were to assume, I would say he is. But the dam is still higher than average milk and a neg EN as well, just not as bad. I am leery of the EN number, but the milk may average out to just help me a little in the growth area. I don't think the other numbers are neither high nor too low, bw is average so I can't be stacking low bw, unless the cows are below average which I do not know other than my registered heifers. The ones recommending a growth bull on a cow herd, I know his accuracy's are low, but if they were accurate I don't think being in the top 20/15% in ww and yw would be too bad for a do all bull? The bw must be the average at 50%? [/QUOTE]
