[QUOTE="LFF, post: 539215, member: 1147"] Can you give us more information about your Angus cows? Do they milk so high that you are having thin or open cows? Do you need to keep your milking ability at you current level? Knowing what your needs and goals are would help to make a recommendation about sire selection. For example P606 is a high milking Hereford bull that should not be used on heifers. His milk EPD would be similar to a 21 EPD in the Angus breed. A EPD of 21 in a purebred Angus herd is probally too high for most farms in Kentucky. Jack Ward recommended that Hereford producers in Kentucky keep the milk EPD around 15 if they were selling to farmers that had Angus based cows. If you have a straight Hereford herd a milk EPD around 20 to 25 would be about the highest I would recommend in Kentucky, and that may be too high unless you have very good forage. Hope this helps , and if you need more information I will try to supply it. [/QUOTE]
