How your cow's "lines" affect your bottom line

Today we are told that you cannot have good production without ultrasounds, DNA, EPD's, chelated minerals and animal record programs.  Ever wonder why Grandpa did not need all of these new-fangled gadgets, minerals and numbers? And does all of this production turn into profit, or are our grass dollars just getting passed along to other businesses?

     In my opinion, there are a number of different reasons we find ourselves with the cows we have and the production/cost state we are in. The main CATTLE reasons are based ongenetics, phenotype, butterfat, glandular function and rumen development.
