[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 688152, member: 7645"] I did not suggest that you even try to fix a cow that won't milk. THAT SAID, a lot of people have legacy cows that do perform well in the pasture; but they are saddled with something like a -5 milk EPD from their pedigree ancestors. No matter how good that cow is, it will be YEARS before her milk EPD ever reflects her reality and who the heck is going to buy a bull with a breed worst milk EPD? Nobody! If you don't want to cull your good cow; but you would like to sell her calves for something other than beef, that gaudy 32 will eliminate THAT problem. In one bold jump you go from -5 to +13.5 and probably improve the birth weight, growth, and carcass numbers all in the process with that bull. [/QUOTE]
