[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 203541, member: 2862"] I guess this will have to be something we disagree on then. I've watched my uncle pick calving ease bulls out of pens of 20 or more bulls, and nail every last one of them. Ditto for the two of the pasture cowboys that I work with. There are certainly exceptions to the rule, and alot of the ability can only come with age and experience. If you don't have that age, experience, or ability, then don't knock the folks who do. Phenotype and actual BW can be used to ACCURATELY pick calving ease animals. Its been done for decades. What do you think we used before EPDs? Quite frankly, I find conformation to be a MUCH more accurate indicator of calving ease than EPDs. Rod [/QUOTE]
