[QUOTE="jscunn, post: 1514948, member: 1257"] I look at EPD trends for young highly promoted bulls more than anything. It was easier to spot trouble before genomics, if a bull like Cowboy Up trended down to single digits for milk and really low for marbling it told a story one of dry daughters and lots of poor ultrasound data. Now I don't know if it is that or bad DNA profiles. Don't currently trust DNA more than performance data. As far as chasing $B, the $B formula is pretty solid right now, pounds pays the bills and QG is the cream. Lots of guys are getting paid on $B because the formula is right, don't think they are using it like you think but CW is paying the bills. Much better than the other formula. Seedstock producers should kill their own animals, everyone has cull bulls (or certainly should). I know some a catalog were some seedstock producer bull calf culls were ~40% Prime with acceptable CW and gain. That is what everyone should strive for with cull bulls. [/QUOTE]
