[QUOTE="dun, post: 277518, member: 34"] Each environment, management methods and marketing affects what is desireable for any given set of EPDs. For terminal use all you really need worry about is calving ease that is compatible with your cow herd, WW, YW and if therre is a quality grade, the marbeling. But even the WW and YW depends on when and how you market the calves. For a non-terminal sire you need to watch for the daughters calving ease, milk (within the range of what your forage/feed base will allow) fertility and possibly WW and YW if you are looking to stay within specific parameters for the weights of the cow herd. It's easier to select for a terminal bull then it is for a maternal or a do-all bull. dun [/QUOTE]
