[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1484774, member: 22295"] I agree with what you said about bull sales. I don't a piece of paper to tell me if a bull has enough performance. I sell by actual weights and that is what I want to see on a bull I'm considering. Just this week I was looking at a catalog and picked out a few Bulls I wanted more info on. One had an adj YW weight of 1490 and a big YW EPD. He born in late spring of 016. When I asked about his current weight I learned his actual weight on 12/1/17 was 1,500. So almost 7 months after his y/o birthday he weighed ten pounds more than his adj YW. I then learned a calf 4 months younger than him was 50 pounds heavier in actual weight last week . This is why I don't put any faith in EPD's. [/QUOTE]
