[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1299310, member: 12607"] I like 'em as low as I can get 'em, SD... but I've kind of dropped off of paying all that much attention to them, anymore. 'Spring'herd here does it all on grass, 'Fall' herd calves on grass and is past peak lactation before we pull 'em in and start feeding...so, if they were gonna fall out due to 'too much milk'... they'd do it, regardless... but there've been no attritions here in the last few years that look like failure to breed due to excessive milk production on minimal to moderate inputs. Most 'opens' here are generally in good condition...some have left recently due to udder issues from genetics far back in the past, and the moderate milk Angus sire who walked the pastures for the past 8 years...wasn't an udder-fixer, came close to being a destroyer. Angus...I prefer a milk below 30...but I'm hardly using any Angus sires. Truth be told, I hardly look at milk epd on Simmental or Shorthorn sires, anymore, but if I'm comparing and all else is comparable, I'll go with a lower milk epd. [/QUOTE]
