[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 801911, member: 7645"] We don't have nearly enough information to make that call. To say whether or not we want to keep heifers out of a bull we need to see his dam, his sisters, and (preferably in a perfect world) his daughters. If I know nothing at ALL about the cow family that produced a bull and he is a virgin (or I have no knowledge of his daughters) I can't recommend him for anything other than a calf getter. EPDs are important information, but not as important as knowing the phenotype of the females he produces/comes from. [/QUOTE]
