[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1299535, member: 12607"] Hmm. Like I said... I don't place much emphasis on Milk epd as a selection criterion for SM sires anymore... hadn't pulled up my bulls list and compared, 'til today... Yeah, there's one in my group with a single-digit milk(8.4), two below 20 (13.8 & 16.8)... but the rest are mostly in the mid to high 20s...with one at 42.2. That highest Milk bull is bred mostly to ANxSH 1st calf heifers; the likelihood that any heifers from that mating will be retained is minimal - they're intended, from the outset, to be 'terminal' feeder calves... and I rarely have a heifer out of a first-timer that 'makes the cut' to stay.
