Milk EPDs have been used with confidence to add predictability to the maternal performance of Angus-sired females.  Yet, the interactive capabilities needed to target optimal milk genetics with each producer’s feed resources have not been available until now.  The first of its kind, the Optimal Milk Module allows individual producers to identify Milk EPD windows or ranges for use in Angus bull selection that beneficially keep the needs of the cowherd in mind.
