[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 263885, member: 2095"] Yes, and sometimes things can jump all over the place from one generation to the next. Take the Hereford Bull: Remitall Keynote 20X. He is a trait leader for Milk EPD at +23. That puts him in the top ~5% of the breed. His sire however was one of the worst trainwrecks for milk ever. Remitall Teamster 9T was in the bottom 1% of the breed at an absurd -17. That is a bizarre 40 lb spread between father and son (@77 and 88% accuracy respectively). Go back another generation to his sire, Remitall Limelight 40L and he has a horrible -4 Milk Epd; although his sire, the popular Enforcer 107H was one of the better milking sires of that era at +17. The ability to produce heavy milking daughters actually skipped two generations!!, (although Enforcer also appears prominently in Keynote's dam's pedigree). If the pedigree is accurate, I have no explanation other than too wonder at the complexity of God's creation. [/QUOTE]
