What trait is the most important of all? FERTILITY . Open cows don’t produce many pounds. What is the cost of an open cow, figure it up sometime. That is why we insist on the EPDs that deal with fertility first, and then let the rest fall in place. Check out MATURE WEIGHTS on many high growth bulls. New formulas figured a few months ago, changed $M quite a bit on many bulls. When Functional longevity EPD was added, $M fell drastically on many bulls.

DNA is a long ways from 100%. Dash is one of the easy calving bulls in the breed, Absolute and the next sire back also. Go figure!!

We could certainly add a couple hundred extra pounds to them, but to quote Andy Olson who taught us a lot about reality in the commercial industry, “you’ve never seen a fat athlete have you”. Made sense.

May work for others, that’s fine, but balanced or AVER- AGE in many traits seems to work. We like reports of high breed backs, quality udders, good feet and guess what, lots of 100% choice and prime reports also!!

This sire group all read pretty close, and look close. There is some difference in age - but when we don’t run a fattening program they have to catch up with time, which they will.
