I am new to breeding Simmentals and can’t help but notice how many bulls have horrible milk EPD’s.
Seems like about every bull I want to use ends up with a milk EPD in the bottom 95% of the breed.
Are the daughters out of bulls with a low milk EPD milking good? Lots of breeders are using these bulls extensively so I can’t help but think it’s not really reliable.
Seems there would have to be some justification for a bull that’s been used 4-5 years that has a low milk EPD but I may be wrong.
