[QUOTE="gbisch, post: 78525, member: 1503"] That is a high EPD, but you can't look strictly at EPD's. If the heifer is a short bodied, Frame Score 3 heifer, I wouldn't buy her. On the other hand, If she's a long bodied Frame score 7, she wouldn't probably ever have a problem with calving. Selling her calves for breeding with high EPD's would be tougher to do. You can't look strictly at EPD's, body shape has a lot to do with calving ease. [/QUOTE]
