[QUOTE="u4411clb, post: 1008819, member: 17248"] I like 124 and 152. I would not get to caught up in the ww and yw epds if your goal is to breed Gert x replacements. You are going to get hybrid vigor and plenty of size when breeding to Gerts. But you don't want to try and breed the biggest replacements you can. The new word in replacements is moderation when it comes to size and milk. You want replacements that are moderate, easy doing, and easy fleshing and that breed back. So I would look at more the SC epd and the MM epd along with the BII index epd and any carcass epds you were interested in improving. If it was a size race people would just use straight Gerts. But like the other guy said what do I know. [/QUOTE]
