[QUOTE="u4411clb, post: 1233703, member: 17248"] I didnt want to take over other guys threads on here. But I was just curious about why so many get so hung up on CE and BW epd's when it comes to Angus bulls. I have either been good or lucky to bid on and purchase Angus bulls with high growth and good maternal numbers for my area and good $EN numbers but with average to below breed average CE and BW numbers and save I would guess thousands of dollars per animal. I honestly think a heifer of mine Gert x Horned Hereford should be able to have a calf unassisted from an average BW angus bull. I am curious as to when is the last time anyone on the board has had to pull a calf from a Registered Angus bull due to size of calf be it on a heifer or cow? Like I said maybe I have been lucky. We have had bad presentations with cows but never had to pull a calf from a registred Angus bull due only to size. [/QUOTE]
