    Simmental Breeders Milk EPD

    Just started to raise some simmentals and was wondering at what point have you found that the milk epd turns a cow from easy keeping to harder doing.  In angus we found it to be around 20 to 22, anything higher the cattle weren't easy keeping anymore.  What is the tipping point in simmentals?

    hannibal

    we had a 5 year old calve to Hannibal and it was her biggest calf about 90# heifer.  She had an 80# hairy bull calf and a 75# Qdog bull before that.  I also have a buddy that had two calves last year both of them were 90-95#, but his BW epds put him at +5 for Chi's.

    Anyone have any calves out of KLS Halfblood?

    Anyone have any calves out of him.  Is he calving ease? I have a halfblood grizzly that I am thinking about breeding him to.  The EPDs say he is calving ease, but it can all change once that first crop hits the ground.
