[QUOTE="Rowdy, post: 1030858, member: 20690"] I disagree but we ll leave it at that. Those ywo heifers are different in type which accounts for their maturity difference at the same age. The heifer on the right is an earlier maturing broadly type whereas the heifer on the left is a bit more angular and feminine. I feel you are interpreting those milk epds incorrectly. Many other factors contribute to growth besides milk production. Generally cows that are heavier milking are more angular in type and aren't the beefiest individuals within the breed. Year in year out my heaviest milking cow doesn't wean the heaviest calf. This is attributed to that type being smaller boned and later physically maturing- just like the two heifers you posted as a comparison. Udder size does indicate quantity of milk, what it doesn't indicate is quality of milk- butterfat. [/QUOTE]
