[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1265369, member: 12607"] We pay attention to Doc when making sire selections; and agree that +8 is not all that great... when I first used Gardens Wave, he didn't even have a Doc rating... I knew the potential for some heat was there... but was not prepared for his initial Doc epd of MINUS 23!!! That said, he's come up to +5(I think has been as high as +7 at some point). Steers were unmemorable. Granted, there are only three of them, but the Wave daughters(and their heifer calves) here are not any spookier or more aggressive than any other cow sired by high-docility Angus sires like 6I6 or Connection; 2 of them are just dead-heads, the other is a little more 'on alert', but less so than her dam. Wish I'd bought more Wave semen when it was available. [/QUOTE]
