    Double trouble BULLS

    I decided to replace two bulls on a five bull herd. I THOUGHT I was doing a smart thing by buying two siblings since they were use to each other and wouldn't try and kill each other. These two are 2yr. old brangus and I turned them out with two charolias and one angus. The two charolias were...

He's got...

    epd's

    I bought a young angus bull with exellant epd's(high weaning and yearling weights) but now that he's two he looks like a runt. I know he's got great genetics but I dont like the looks of him. Would it still be possible for him to produce accordingly to his epd's or is he just a bad seed?
