[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 599849, member: 7645"] I don't know. I just punched in EXT's EPDs for birth, weaning, yearling, scrotal (an EXT weakness), Milk, Marbling, and REA into ABS's Angus bull search and I got back 32 ABS bulls that equaled or exceeded EXT for all those traits. THEN I took that list and went one by one comparing their $EN number to EXT's gaudy +10.09 (ABS won't let me search for that trait) and they don't have a single bull that matches that standard. S A F Connection came very close with a +9.5 $EN. For BALANCED performance, carcass, calving ease, and real world efficiency EXT is still very much an elite sire. [/QUOTE]
