[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1129290, member: 14661"] For me it depends on the cow and how she's bred. When I sell to any herd I try to feel out what the problem areas are very gently and try to offer different choices in bull power based on either my best hunch, information they give me, or pedigree. For most beef herds(and dairy herds), problem cattle are severe outlayers in the negative to the genetics that I have to offer so "the one they pulled" is not of much signifigance but I still listen. If calving heifers has been a problem worth them mentioning then CE is an easy first step but in the long term MCE combined with CE is the goal. BUT... When you use highly proven genetics over and over again I think there is plenty of room for a bull like Grandmaster. He's not helping much for calving ease but he's also not going to hurt you much. I think that if every sim bull ever turned out with a cow had his kind of accurracy you'd find that his MCE would be quite pleasing. [/QUOTE]
