[QUOTE="tapeworm, post: 154724, member: 1094"] Frankie: " We want big bulls to sell, but that also translates into bigger heifers and the milk EPD in the Angus breed has gotten too high, IMO. It's a balancing act." Thank you for saying that frankie. All this chasing bigger and bigger numbers is increasing the size of our cowherd Im afraid..at some point we ahve to stop The bottome line is that it just dont matter how big the expected numbers are if we cant afford to feed the cows or if we cantget calves on the ground..theres ALWAYS sacrifices made in other areas by focusing to much on some traits. Chasing bigger and bigger numbers is not alwasy the answer...we have to be sure that we never lose site of the efficent fertile cow WE HAVE TO BE SURE THAT WE NEVER LOSE SITE OF THE EFFICENT FERTILE COW!!
