[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1130192, member: 22295"] PDF I agree with your post. BW's are another example. The ratios mean little if anything. I want to see the real BW. When an 80# plus calf is listed as a heifer bull by EPD's I disagree. It was explained to be that the bull's mother was ran on wheat while carrying him so his BW was adj. down. I don't care in my opinion he still isn't a heifer bull. We had some replacement heifers breed on the cows before they got weaned last summer. It was before I became involved in management of the herd. These heifers have been run on wheat since the first of December. So far knock on wood 3 have calved and all have had them on their own and not a calf over low 70's. One low 60's. The point I'm trying to make is you have to use some cow sense. And adjusted BW's supposedly for environmental reasons many times don't represent the real commercial cow world. [/QUOTE]
