[QUOTE="waihou, post: 481424, member: 6511"] Thanks for yet more tit bits of info. regarding EPD's, or as we know them in NZ/Aust as EBV's. Interesting about the negative correlation between IMF and weaning and yearling weights. Even more interesting, thanks DOC, is the correlation between low BW, high milk and loss of hind quarter muscling! Must watch out when selecting with these in mind. I am particularly interested in this one. Does that mean if you breed a well muscled animal from a cow that has both a low BW EPD and a very high milk EPD he is a 'freak' and worth keeping on as a stud prospect? I'm particularly pleased with the way a 5 month old bull calf (MG) is shaping up from our top milk EBV cow. She is an international trait leader having a milk EBV of +16kgs to a breed standard of +3kg-sorry cannot convert but you can see she is pretty much ahead! [/QUOTE]
