[QUOTE="Air gator, post: 1525058, member: 20755"] NEFarmwife, I think that BullBarn ads can be off sometimes. If you look at a registered Angus animal that has been genomic tested the type of test is noted. I don't remember any SAV bull with genomic testing. Connealy does test their bulls. It is a good idea to wait to see the quality of calves anyway but in a flush I would like to know which bull is going to have a +30 for milk and which bull is going to have a +16 for milk. I am repeating myself here but I had a bull calf tested. His epds would have been about 75 to 85 maybe for YW and his milk would have been about +21. After the genomic testing his YW is now +104 and his milk dropped to +8. I like SAV's animals but the genomic testing would help me decide which one to use. I used Resource this year but with him I know what to expect for his milk. And the thing about SAV is that there are so many bulls to choose from that are closely related and phenotypically look similar or may even be flush mates. I think the one example of genomic testing making an impact is the Quaker Hill Manning flush. I think there was a bull in that flush that was overlooked and then the genomic testing boosted him a bit. Alta has him....Quaker Hill Mile High. (The genomic testing probably made Quaker Hill some money). [/QUOTE]
