[QUOTE="greenwillowhereford II, post: 558938, member: 7439"] Bear in mind that Day isn't a TPR breeder, and these are genetics that are linebred straight from the Turner Ranch gene pool. I used to own the half brother of this bull, and on just the few head that my brother and I had, his numbers moved significantly. It helped when his calves ratioed higher than an ANL Quest bull's offspring in the same pasture, and the Quest bull was above breed average. My Day bull's calves had as good an average weaning weights as I've had, and my last two bulls have EPDs in the mid thirties for WW. The most laughable number of all is the MM of 6. Those cows will milk. A daughter of my Day bull weaned my highest 205 WW a couple of years ago, on only her second calf in a drought year. (Over 600#, no creep) If there was an EPD for longevity, this bull should top the breed. The Yankee bull and several of those others are fine looking, including the Tank bull. [/QUOTE]
