[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 32584, member: 97"] Personal opinion- I wouldn't use that bull except for on mature cows -- I wouldn't use a Simmental bull on heifers unless the CE- was +10 or greater and the birthweight was - 1 or more, But thats my preference because I'd rather have live calves than dead ones. For mature cows the EPD's look real good- although in this part of the country when its 20 below zero I'd rather have one of those little angus calves that jump up with a will to live, than a continental that lays there and dies. I've used both and even some composite crossbreds, but nothing has the vigor to stay alive like an angus-- # 2 herefords. [/QUOTE]
