[QUOTE="ffamom, post: 698666, member: 1882"] Our largest calves have been sired by low birth weight bulls according to EPD's. Research was done to find a negative numbered bull. So far, 3 calves have hit the ground, all heifer calves, and all were over 80lbs with the last one weighing about 100 lbs. Upon doing more research on progeny, most of the calves that were registered were bred and recorded by the owner of the bull. [b]Am I reading the paper wrong?[/b] Did I want a higher number? If I did read them correctlly, how many people do you think record the weights they want reported rather than the actual measurements? Not saying this happened, but not what we expected according to the numbers. These heifers were not grained. Not even a good year for the pastures because of the drought. [/QUOTE]
