What is the Milk EPD?

Darrh Bullock (University of Kentucky): The milk, or maternal, EPD is an indicator of how well a bull’s daughter should milk and is reflected in the average weaning weight of the bull’s daughters’’ calves. So, therefore, when we get a difference between two bulls for a milk EPD, say of 5 pounds, it means that the bull with the higher value, his daughters will raise calves that weigh, on average, 5 pounds heavier than the other bull’s daughters’ calves.
