[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1448257, member: 14585"] I can't add any first hand knowledge. But just a passing thought. Deer Valley All In isn't expected to improve docility being breed average doc 14, so perhaps the root problem is the Black Angus breed has more of a docility problem on average than most realize and more than many angus breeders care to acknowledge? So maybe more attention should paid to selecting > doc 19 (top 25%) before it gets out of hand. I too agree with looking at epd doc with suspicion and that is why doc 20 is kind of my cut off. Certainly not scientific, but I've heard more antidotes of farmers being rolled by a "Black" cow than any other breed. One advantage black angus have are the sheer number of proven A.I. sires to choose from, so there are many over doc 21 (top 20%) available. One that looks really good to me is Mil Bar Hickok at ABS solid numbers across the board and doc 33 (top 1%) to boot. [/QUOTE]
