[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1842191, member: 42463"] Good heifers and good steers come out of the same cows... if the cows are good. The extremes in any direction are less capable animals. A lot of people seem fascinated by EPD numbers, by chasing results with feed or minerals, by trying to cheap their way into profits by expecting poor animals to become better than they are, and even by cultivating multiple births instead of culling those cows. There are only so many basic rules to succeed in cattle... and it all begins with capable cows and a bull that will improve them. It seems like a lot of people in the US have become enchanted by snake oil instead of the basics. It seems like you guys in Canada get this. Europeans seem to as well. [/QUOTE]
