[QUOTE="Air gator, post: 1526516, member: 20755"] I know Brilliance is popular but I would have a tough time with a 4.9 HP epd. War Party's milk epd is +40 so he would be expensive unless you had a cow that really needed a boost of milk. Timeless 458's DMI epd is +1.62 so they might need a little feed. Here's the benefit of a discussion like this: EPDs/numbers don't tell the whole story. I am sure there are people on here who love cows out of these bulls with numbers that are crooked like the ones above. I read a post from two breeders with Southside cows that said they were fat and easy-keeping but his $EN is -$33.00 and his DMI epd is +$1.54. So, who/what do you believe? [/QUOTE]
