Milk EPD's and growth EPD's are antaganistic traits. Meaning they USUALLY are high in one trait & low in the other. A growth bull rarely came from milk lines, and milk bulls rarely came from growth lines. Same with BW EPD's and YW EPD's. That's why people are trying (and succeeding) in producing those "spread" bulls that go against the normal. This is another reason why knowing breed EPD's are such an important tool.
