[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1617744, member: 12607"] 10-12 yrs ago, when we were using some Angus sires, I tried to use ones with $EN above +10... was getting hard to find them that high back then, but used a couple that were +$40 or better... 4-4.5 frame bulls with low milk epds... but high marbling and one of them was in the top 1% for REA. But... using them over SimAngus cows, some with Holstein back a few generations, they did OK. Looking now, they're still above +$10... but now more like +$16 to +$20... and still pretty desirable with respect to marbling and REA(at least one of them)... but WW & YW are in the bottom 5%.
