I won't use war party just because of his 40 Milk EPD. That is the only reason, I think he is a good looking bull.
Perhaps you'd like this son then..I do.

He is darn nice to my eye.
Do you have any war party's in production? I'm curious on udder attachment and teat size

War Party's dam is a full sister to CRA Bextor. My neighbor has War Party progeny (6 year old cows) and they are gentle, easy fleshing, square hipped, looooong and really nice udders. After seeing his cows, I decided I need some of them.
Docility is 44% heritable, leaving 56% as environmental. (source: AAA trait heritabilities)CentralFLAngus said:Changing topics a bit to talk more docility, do y'all think that docility is really more genetic than
it is sociological and how they are raised?

Do you really want to use a bull if his immune system can't even protect himself from getting
a bad infection? To some unknown extent (perhaps 20%) animal health is inherited. To achieve
maximum health requires a naturally strong heart, lungs and circulatory system. All body parts
are inherited, so even if causes of illness are 80% environment/nutrition it's still very important.
