[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 781071, member: 7645"] Phenotypically there is nothing to harp on negatively in that pic. I am kind of surpised about the EPD discusion. The fat and scrotal circumference EPDs don't bother me much. If there is an EPD to criticize I would think that it would be the breed leading milk EPD. This is probably less true with Herefords than Anguses (since a base (+0) Angus milks heavier than a base (+0) Hereford, but really high milk EPDs can be an indicator of a harder keeping type mama cow. Combine that with the breed leading fat epd and you kind of worry about the longevity of that bull's daughters in a more feed restrictive enviroment........and I am the first to admit that those trait relationships are FAR from being perfect indicators of real world performance.
