[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 1012892, member: 1683"] I think that you are making a correct decision to consider another bull for your expectations. This bull has a very desirable background in his sire side, but with your desiring growth I would look elswhere. Bear in mind, however, that high growth is not necessarily the way to go for all of your genetic needs! Too much growth costs money, both to feed the progeny, and to maintain the dams year round. As a Terminal program - okay. As a Maternal operation wherin you retain replacement heifers - you should look elsewhere - in the catalog perhaps. Try to keep the Milk EPD below 25, and the BW around 0. Your Simm. genetics are edging upward on growth enough as it is. DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
