[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1309881, member: 24565"] I'd run like a scalded dog. It is unnecessary unless your cows and heifer are known problems. Reminds me of an old AI bull called "O G". Live and learn. Been here before. Growth is important, in balance, for [u][b]normal[/b][/u] commodity cattle. It can be moderate in maternal types and high in terminal types. But both are commodity type cattle. Your cattle are [b][u]specialty[/u][/b] cattle with your own market. They would bottom out the commodity market due to small frame. Back to the requote: "Commodity or oddity". If little is better, why not go directly to lowlines or sheep? But enough thread drift: What about sire's birth EPD vs. maternal calving ease of daughters? Like it or not, sloping rump structure reflects better pelvic angle" - opinion. I do not want ski jump tail heads as an opposite. What I really like is a calf that I have to go back and weigh the second time because I think I made a mistake the first time, get back to the yard and say to myself, (sign of dementia only if I answer myself!), "That calf could not have weighed that much". Snake vs basketball. Works every time. In demand as commodity or a breeder of commodity cattle. [/QUOTE]
