[QUOTE="Alan, post: 549639, member: 378"] Nothing to add to this great post except thanks to Doc and all, very educational post. A good freind here recently turned the light on in my mind on the importance of balanced traits and not hanging your herd on one or two epd's. As stated before, for guys like me, just starting out (5 or 6 years..2 years serious), the key is finding or breeding cattle with good phenotypes, good traits that pass on, and cattle that work well in my environment. To do this, I think one has to be committed to a long term goal (years), don't lose focus on what you are after, but be able to adjust to get there and be willing to cull hard if neccassary. I figure I have 15 to 20 years to build the perfect herd..... but then again will I ever shoot an 18 in a round of golf? Thanks for the post, Alan [/QUOTE]
