[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 771101, member: 4353"] George has mentioned it, but I'll say it again for emphasis.... to say T21 bred according to his PE EPDs is senseless when you don't have another bull's calves in the same pasture. For a contemporary group to mean anything at all atleast 2 sires needs to be represented. A few years and a few more bulls later you might feel differently about it all, but I do agree that I like the fact that you've identified a breeder that you trust and sticking by him. Thinking back my very first registered bull had useless EBVs (especially milk), but I still have a few daughters in my commercial herd, never culled one for poor performance or a bad udder, after him I used some very popular performance bulls, with great EBVs (again especially milk) and their daughters don't milk half as good as the bull that was supposed not to breed milk's daughters and subsequently I have very few daughters left of the next 3 or 4 bulls I used.
