[QUOTE="hornedfrogbbq, post: 1520260, member: 32773"] Ooooo, those are great stats. Just to be clear, I didn't mean the entire herd wasn't continuing to improve. I was focused on the semen providers and on AI specifically. Those bulls offered, it seems to us, have NOT made huge strides in $B lately. In our view, the semen providers seem to be tempering that a bit to make for a more well-rounded animal. You can still go get $200B bulls, as i mention in the original post, but we feel that semen producers listened to feedback from the producers that are their customers and the need to moderate milk. I don't know what the average $B or $EN or Milk index was for ABS or SS for the last 5 years but i might guess that Milk has come down ...and therefor $EN is a bit better...on average...over their whole semen offering. Maybe it's just me. [/QUOTE]
