[QUOTE="MO_cows, post: 974606, member: 9169"] I think it is like most things, good in moderation. Nothing grows a calf as well as its mothers milk. But too much and soon you have a bag of bones with no muscle and a huge udder, aka the modern dairy cow. Here is the link to the 2012 across breed EPD adjustments. There is a 40 pound spread between the breeds. I was somewhat surprised to see that Brahman has a higher adjustment factor for milk than Simmental, I never realized they were so milky.
