[QUOTE="toughntender, post: 1230966, member: 21587"] Milk for one. If you start selecting for higher weaning weights (ie growth) you could inadvertently start selecting for more milk. WalnutCrest- I like the idea of only comparing contemporaries, and you have probably described the most logical selection process for growth. Won't you also be selecting for higher relative intake as well? What I was really trying to ask with my poorly worded question above is, in real life, under actual conditions, has anybody been able to select for higher growth rates, and after using said bulls still maintained a grass functional cowherd?
