[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 670043, member: 4353"] Look up his performance pedigree and under that you'll see how he, his sire, his dam and their progeny indexed within their contemporary group. T21's WW was 17% higher than the herd average so he indexed 117 for WW. What I read into that is that he is out of a very milky dam and that he has good genetic growth potential. On the scurs issue... Gary Witherspoon believed scurs was a visual sign of "hybrid vigour" within the hereford breed. Since scientists to date couldn't even figure out exactly how the inheritance of scurs work (many possible models without conclusive proof), I'll take that opinion with a grain of salt. [/QUOTE]
