[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 623282, member: 2653"] That goes without saying Frankie, and I have taken plenty of time and look at MARC's data every year for at least the last 5 or 6 years. However, they are all based on Black Angus as a 0 factor. Beefmaster has the highest weaning adjustment factor, so if you found bulls of varying breeds with the same weaning epd (for example if they all were 0), the beefmaster bull should wean bigger calves theoretically. My question with the thread remains: does anyone even use these factors when determining a potential herd sire. [/QUOTE]
