Selecting Bulls to Fit Your Market: Producing the Quality Beef Your Customers Seek

November 4, 2013


The last three bulls you used account for 75% of the genetic makeup of your beef cow herd. Good bulls are not cheap and bad bulls cost you money with every poor calf weaned out of an underperforming cow. You really can't afford to make a mistake in selecting a bull. The Expected Progeny Differences (EPD) is the accurate tool a farmer can use to reduce the risk of making the wrong decision in purchasing a bull.
