[QUOTE="3waycross, post: 1136607, member: 6713"] I have 8 head confirmed safe to 1441 this year so hopefully his calves will work out for us. 3way I did not use this bull on heifers I used him on cows and if a cow can't handle a 3.1 birthweigh epd there is a problem with the cow. As far as a hole big enough to drive a truck through I just can't see it. A hole for a VW beetle maybe but not a truck. I will concede that the EN number is a concern, I did keep it in mind when selecting which cows to pair him up with. I don't see his lacking masculinity, I went back and looked at the video again, he looks young in the video but just can't see where your saying he isn't masculine. I haven't seen a video yet that really shows how a bull moves, but then I feel the same way about the video sales, it gives you an idea but there is just something missing in a video for me. Gizmom[/quote] The $EN(you really could drive a truck thru that one). was the really big one for me. The 2's for calving ease bother me but I raise cattle where 8 is avg for calving ease. I look at a lot of Angus EPD's when selecting bulls to make balancers with so I guess I should not let some of those numbers influence me so much. His offspring look real good. I hope you do as well with yours. You definitely have good cows to use him on. [/QUOTE]
