[QUOTE="gberry, post: 654069, member: 3325"] That's good to hear. I really did just stumble across him and thought he looked pretty good. Actually Knersie and I had been exchanging PMs regarding the phenotype of several bulls. I have been trying to select for earlier maturing, easier keeping phenotype and Knersie has been kind enough to lend some of his expertise to my quest. I had put forth the question of whether an earlier maturing bull might be selected by using EPDs it seemed to me that a bull with above average WW epd and below avg YW epd would tend to be the earlier maturing type. He agreed, but recommended that the 600 day EPD might be more useful than the YW. Here in the US, we only have WW and YW so I decided to search the Australian database for bulls with above avg WW epd and below avg 600 day weight EPD. He was one of the bulls that came up with this search and I felt he had a good, early maturing phenotype which supports my hypothesis. I also liked his muscle and capacity and wanted to see what others thought. [/QUOTE]
