He shows up in the pedigree of a lot of popular BULLS in the Angus breed. He has an 18 milk EPD. That is acceptable to me here in this dry country. You might be able to support more milk in your area, depending on rainfall and type of forage. He also carries a .04 backfat EPD. That's high, but working cows need some backfat, IMO.

He's only half of the calf. What kind of cow are you putting him on?
