[QUOTE="Isomade, post: 974420, member: 13135"] The amount of milk you want all depends on environment. For me ideal as far as Angus EPDs go I want a cow between 18-24. This gives me the best matched cow to my forage quality and allows me to maximize profits without having to feed myself into the poor house. As far as retained daughters go recent studies have indicated that a big change in Milk EPDs changes very little on a sires direct daughters. In other words if your cows milk way too much and you want their daughters to milk less the change doesn't happen that fast. If you put a 12 Milk EPD bull on a 30 EPD cow you will typically tell very little difference in the milking of the mother compared to the daughter. [/QUOTE]
