[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 14930"] A bull's own birth weight will not always give an accurate indication of how big his own calves will be. Factors like how his dam was fed, exercise, and weather can influence his own birth weight. An epd if available is said to be 9 times more accurate for determining the birth weight of his offspring. To start with, his own weight will be used to help generate the bw epd, so to say an actual bw has no bearing would be wrong. With all that being said, basically the only positive way to know how big a bull's calves will be, is to use him.
