[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 355951, member: 968"] I understand what you are asking. If the bull is terminal - than doesn't that mean his dam was terminal :shock: Sort of?? - As mentioned, Charolais, as a breed, is considered a "terminal" breed. Doesn't mean that the females aren't good breeders. Just that the "best" asset the bull puts into the "mix" is growth. If you were looking for milk, you would be looking at different breeds. But, there are bulls that can be used for terminal that would also be maternal. With the use of EPD's, breeds have been able to develop lines that carry both assets. Terminal bulls are generally GROWTH bulls - but not necessarilly ONLY growth. [/QUOTE]
