I went to the AAA site and searched for AU Midland, on a hunch.
Then clicked on the one with the R118 number, like was shown in the pdf Mike C. sent.
Here's what I got from that: 15264746
Got lucky, either that, or numbering systems are predictable. :lol:

What do you think of the BW EPD?

A +5 BW EPD doesn't bother me on a Char, much less an Angus.
Question: Does the angus assoc have another page that tells an animals weight at Birth and ratio, 205 Weaning Weight and ratio, etc?

An Angus 5 lb BW is equal to about 12 in Char? Or am I way off base there? Yes, if your cattle are enrolled in the AHIR program, that info is available, but only to the owner of the animal. It's up to them to share it if they wish.
A 5 Charolais would be a 15 BW EPD Angus.
A 5 BW EPD Angus would be a -5 Charolais.

Hmmm, :lol: More fodder for my grazing huh Mike. ;-) You and Frankie seem to be getting along these days. Are you guys sick? Everything alright? :lol: I havn't seen a cross word in a month. You and frankie, alice and CB, what's this world coming to ? Maybe there is hope for Israel and the Arabs.MikeC":1xgkwh9d said:Frankie":1xgkwh9d said:Thanks. Guess I was confused. My bad.

But the "Phenotypic" trend of the Chars Actual BW has gone the other way.
In the last 15 years the average Char bull calf born has lost 3 lbs. (from 92 to 89 lbs.) and the average female calf has lost 3 lbs (from 88 to 85 lbs).
But the Average BW EPD's have gone from "1.2" 15 years ago to "1.7" today.
Go figure.

Frankie has been real "Ladylike" lately. I think she's got it in for the "Pieds" now. :lol:

What's happened to average WW and average YW during those years?
I'm still waiting for you to give me the link to the Char page that will allow me to browse actual performance data on various bulls. Thanks....
