[QUOTE="CattleMan1920, post: 1567590, member: 37967"] That’s why cattle breeding is such a rewarding endeavor. It’s somewhat like new versions of software, you work on the bugs, and improve constantly. I’m a firm believer that you can take a “good” quality Angus cow with an average pedigree and in 2-3 generations improve the progeny by leaps and bounds with AI. Most people have no idea how fast genetics can evolve and with a helping hand via aggressive AI, those genetics can evolve rapidly. What once took 10 years to create can happen in half that time or even less than that using genomic EPD tests and AI. I’m planning to breed most of my President and Raindance daughters to SAV Elation soon, that progeny will be a solid improvement on the grandparents, which are good but by no means a cross of the bulls above.
