[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1269161, member: 14585"] I know nothing about brahman, so take my advice for what it's worth. :2cents: But why would you want to add their horn gene to your herd? I would choose the polled bull [as long as he passes your eyeball test] or look for another polled sire. What the bulls look like would be my deciding factor. Epd 4/10ths of a pound birth weight difference and 1 lb ww based on LOW Accuracy epd from a herd that doesn't record birthweights seems to barely matter. Even a Polled bull siring 1 pound bw heavier calves could add more calving ease bcs of head shape than a horned sire. [/QUOTE]
