[QUOTE="Peace, post: 1666209, member: 41443"] Ok, so it's slow for me know and I went to the sales site and AAA's pedigree/EPD site and found some, not a whole lot but some bulls that fit these parameters. Granted I don't get to see them in person, but I can find them with the .5 or less DMI, with a +.8 range YH. Is there such a thing as too much YH? I've found plenty in the .4 to .8 range, and a couple in the 1.0 to 1.1 range, anything I should avoid? It seems to me that when I find those bulls, a pretty good percentage of them have a WW in the 50 to 60 range and YW in the 85 to 110 range. That's fine, to me it would be just fine if the buyers are paying more for them at the same weight they are vs the same they're paying now for 100lb heavier feeders. If you're putting less feed in them and they look better to the buyer, it would kind of make sense that they would pay more, or am I way off base here? Another thing I've noticed is the HP and CEM tend to be very good, in most cases. Is that usual or just a coincidence that I'm noticing? Also, the CE and BW tends to be all over the map, but that isn't too much of a concern at this point, or is it? Lastly, I have found a few that have a DMI in the .55 to .62 range that have some other things going on that I like, maternals, CED, higher WW and YW and good YH. Is that ok or just stay away? Thanks again, I cannot thank you enough....I'm actually getting into digging around for these bulls. Many of them come from stunner, prime cut, sirloins, consensus, southern charm, stimulous, maverick and a few others...are there any of those that should be avoided? thanks again [/QUOTE]
