[QUOTE="hornedfrogbbq, post: 1616455, member: 32773"] So what are the "Hall of Fame Females" in the black angus breed? I'd define the HOF females as having perfect fertility (so on an average 370 day calving cycle or so), longevity (so that brings in quality of bone structure, foot structure, udder structure and durability) and the ability to raise a good calf once it is born. SAV has a handful - 4136, 0075. Others? What about L5 and 366 at Hoover? Mohnen has a few i think. I am unsure what Connealy has on this score. Sidebar: Personally, we wish seedstock providers wouldn't focus on calves out of their newest, youngest heifers/cows (that probably have the best EPD's) but instead focus on getting bulls out of their most proven cows. Those cows that year in and year out get pregnant at one exposure and have the structure to live a long life. [/QUOTE]
