Hi all I'm looking to buy a new bull in December and was wondering could you name a few angus bulls that have good weaning weight epd's that are at least a frame 6 or larger.
 
WMR Timeless 458 ive seen lots of his calves there really good lot of performance in that bull Accelerated Genetics has him and im sure theres lots of bulls out there that will meet that requirement.

Are you putting him on Gert cows?

No, he will be used on half Gelbvieh cows, and the rest are purebred Angus

From perusing the pedigree and EPD's -ONLY - I would say that IF this bull has matching phenotype to his Pedigree and EPD's - you could look a lo-o-o ng time to do any better!

DOC HARRIS
 
I hate to agrue with some named Doc.. but

That pedigree will not produce 6 frame cattle, under normal circumstances.

Vermillion Payweight
Oneills Expedition
 
Wean weight is only 1 factor to look at. A lot of high weaning calves fall on their face as yearlings

Those are a few that come to mind. We've used alot of mandate he is solid calving ease. We really liked the limflex bulls he sired for us. Only have one purebred angus bull out of him right now and i'm not terribly impressed with it... could be the cow tho. No calves on the ground out of Consensus yet so we will see if he lives up to the hype.
