[QUOTE="Amo, post: 1480660, member: 14857"] I agree with structure correctness, bags, etc. Guess I was more of less asking about thickness, muscle, etc. I've usually shopped for numbers. The numbers have been created by hopefully by accurate data being turned in. If your actually increasing your weaning weight, your epd will go up. Ranchers sell by the pound, not the show ring. Which show cattle are pretty, and good looking calves sell well. Fleshy calves, in my area get docked. Guess feed does wonders. When you go shopping by looks, I have to sit there and wonder is this true muscle or bucket muscle? Course numbers are only as good as the accuracy that is reported. Getting back to the original question of my post, and throwing out the whole full/flush/clone deal....on a different page and also visiting with someone from UNL most of these phenotypical traits 30% heritable or less, like 15%. I guess if you never try you never get anywhere. Yet it appears to me you can blow a lot of money chasing something that has small odds of recouping. [/QUOTE]
