[QUOTE="Nkline, post: 1666292, member: 41001"] I wouldn’t worry about getting too high on YH epd as long as your MH isn’t getting much above .8, once you get over 7 frame with cows you get a lot more stifle injuries. A 700 lb steer is going to bring more per pound than an 800 lb steer all things being equal. But, we’re not talking 100 lbs, if you aren’t pushing creep you may wean more weight with the low dmi calves. If you are pushing creep a 100 lb WW epd vs. 50 lb WW epd is 50 lbs. I wouldn’t be concerned with ced or bw on mature cows if you haven’t been having problems. As long as you select for cem to some extent you shouldn’t have problems. I don’t think cem is going to correlate, but hp might (it has seemed to for me). I wouldn’t be scared if you are a little over .5, but would aim for that on average over time. My current bulls range from .67 to -1.36. I don’t know enough to speak on most of those bulls. Consensus was quite popular and throws a lot of fat, so yield grades can suffer if you retain ownership.
