[QUOTE="redcowsrule33, post: 581725, member: 8629"] Cold winters = higher birthweights. Remember EPD's tell you the calves performance in comparison to the averages. If your average birthweights are higher in the spring, even the low birthweight EPD calves will be higher. Just not higher than average for that group. Don't forget Momma - she had a lot to say about the weight of that calf too. I have a cow that will have a 100#+ calf regardless of what you breed her to. [/QUOTE]
