[QUOTE="jscunn, post: 1527479, member: 1257"] I had a female that dominated at weaning (666 # ratio 104) and yearling (970# ratio 117) with a 99 ratio for BW (76#). I DNA tested her and some select replacements she went from a YW EPD of 110 to 89 after the genomics (58 DNA for YW). Raised her first calf 684 # ratio 101 (heifer calf) and bred back on AI service. Picture perfect 3 yr old cow. Now imagine I paid $10,000 or more for her at weaning and tested her.. SAV doesnt want to chance it with a 5 figure bull sale average I would not dare test anything. As far as AI bulls being tested what would that accomplish? If I owned Raindance there is ZERO chance I would gamble a big drop in EPDs because it might hurt my ability to recoop my investment.
