[QUOTE="HerefordSire, post: 435952, member: 4437"] 1848, That isnt news heck if herefords didnt have epds, I doubt HS would even take a look.... [i]Why would a breeder select Feltons 517 other than his ability to create life through progeny without delivery assistance(SC & CE)? Could it be his great reputation is related to feed efficiency which is not recorded? Why are so many ranchers and breeders using his offspring? Could it be to increase REA of terminal calves? Hypothetically, it is 1994, I have ten 8 framed cows that average 100 pound calves at birth with high REAs for five years. So I cross 517 with all five. How much do these cows affect the statistical performance of 517? What about 500 daughters? If 517 had 500 daughters throwing a calf every year in the 1990s, how does this affect the statistical performance of 517?[/i] [/QUOTE]
