[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 575559, member: 4353"] Probably yes, the L1s make a large proportion out of the total horned base in the USA. For years the Miles City herd was selected based on increasing weaning weights, this led to much emphasis on maternal taits. Today the L1s are still just about the cream of hereford maternal genetics. If you asked the same question twenty years ago, the difference would have had a significant effect on performance, but nowadays i think the polls milk more than well enough and the biggest risk is now pushing milk too far and not so much not having enough. Maximum isn't neccesarily optimum [/QUOTE]
