[QUOTE="highvoltagecattleco, post: 496159, member: 6225"] Final Answer is the calving ease bull of choice. I will be using both Right Time 338 and VRD (Dateline) to improve structure and performance. Just a few cows who are large frame will be breed to New Day. I really dont like the Precision line. The biggest complaint you hear from commercial guys, are the Angus bulls are beginning to lack width and capacity. When we stack Precision on top of 6I6 then New Design. We end up with cattle that are to refined and small boned. They have great EPDs and look good on a side shot. When you look at them head on they disappear. We have also pushed the calving ease too far. Angus have always been known and admired for their calving ease. The breed has been driving the BWs down lower and lower. Bulls like VRD and 338 were both 88lbs at birth. That to me that is ideal, but neither bull has a great BW EPD. I hope we begin to see a trend away from the carcass EPDs and go back to functional and moderate cattle. [/QUOTE]
