[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 362735, member: 968"] OK. But, just because the bull had a BW of 85# does not mean your newborn will have that. Actual BW of the bull is not as reliable as his [b]EPD[/b] for BW & Calving Ease. Also, the BW (BW EPD) of your heifer will be half of the equation. IF your heifer is properly grown out at breeding and calving, she COULD be able to handle an 85# BW. Just depends on her breed & size. My heifers can easily handle a 85# BW. [/QUOTE]
