[QUOTE="RegCowman, post: 1214973, member: 22839"] I looked him up on AAA --he isnt in ASA to measure apples to apples. I didnt find any Genetic defect data on him --he does have DD Carrier 1407 in his background. ASA has a program called the Carcass Merit Program where bulls that rank in the top 25% can be accepted. There are PBAN in this program, as well. What they do is semen is collected and distributed to co-operators that have better than average commercial cattle herds. They breed their commercial females to your bull and all data is collected from birth to harvest, so you get back more data on your bull in a real life situation, not just numbers from EPD's. Until this is done, in one of many different programs around the country; a bull is a prospect. Simmental and Simmental Influenced cattle will probably never catch up to PBAN in IMF. We have come a long way since 1985 though. Also -- we get no help from the Show Sector, as they aren't part of the Performance minded crowd -- what they do is bring the numbers down --constantly.
