[QUOTE="sim.-ang.king, post: 907850, member: 14533"] EPD's don't make since to me sometimes. The pb simmy I have had a BW of 50 lbs, and his epd is only -0.1, and his sire was -1.2 bw and the dam was 1.0 bw. He has had three bull calves and so far, #1 was 40lbs, #2 was 45lbs, #3 was 65lbs. So why is his -0.1 and not lower when these 100lbs bw bull have a lower number then him? Do they not take in to accout the calfs bw when figuring bw or is it just avrage of the sire and dam? I'm not crying over it but just wondering how it gets done? [/QUOTE]
