[QUOTE="hornedfrogbbq, post: 1529274, member: 32773"] Agree on too much rather than not enough...and agree that the milk epd isn't super accurate all the time. That being said, we rarely ignore it but it is just one factor in a multi-factor model we use to assess bulls before seeing them. We see ranches that chased $B to the exclusion of everything else using HA Cowboy to fix their high milk index. He also has one hell of a BW...he was 98lbs at birth! It looks to me like Connealy is using him to bring UP some small birth and wean weights of the dams used (looking at their preliminary information for their fall sale they just put out). I think his milk epd is drifting lower? [/QUOTE]
