I saw a Hereford bull sale last week and an Angus bull sale this week. I see a lot of bulls come through the ring with a BW epd a point or more lower than the breed average. The auctioneer is yelling "sure shot heifer bull." Then I look at the bottom of the screen and the BW is 90-105 lbs. Is that not a little high to be yelling "heifer bull"?
And, there is some correlation between the epd and the actual weight itself, so how does a bull who's parents give him a low bw epd come out weighing so much? Is that just a weakness in EPDs?
