[QUOTE="dun, post: 830275, member: 34"] Based on EPDs is better a higher WW or YW? Maybe more milk. The problem with a lot of breeders is that "better" actually translates to newer or more currently popular. Is the high WW that translates into a high YW "better" when it turns into a 1700 pound or FS 7-8 cow? There is an optimum for everything. Balanced is what is needed not "better". If the cow herd isn;t balanced why would they be kept around till they're 5-6-7 years old, they should have been replaced long before with cattle that better fit that balance. But as was pointed out when you get rid of those young cows you lose the ability to judge/quantify their ability to stay productive. [/QUOTE]
