[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1546668, member: 968"] I'm not talking genetic defects - I'm talking EPD's thru DNA. I have had my whole herd tested - last year - all cows and replacement heifers. Only reason to add data to ASA's database - not for cull/keep info. Didn't see much difference in their numbers - did not get a breakdown like listed on here. Just have their previous figures and now new ones reflecting the DNA. I keep records on CE, BW, WW, temperament, frame, etc. As far as fertility, if they stay in my herd, they sure as heck are fertile myrtles - 100% AI with a 65 day calving season (and a few in a fall calving). I have let a few slip into "other" calving season, if something like having twins. But, I cull pretty brutally on structure & fertility. [/QUOTE]
