[QUOTE="novaman, post: 724390, member: 2744"] I agree that heavier calves tend to have more problems. I agree that the BW EPD would have a high correlation to calving ease. My arguement is that too much weight is being put on the actual BW. It is alarming to me at how few people use EPD's or at least that's the vibe I'm getting by reading in this forum. You would think the whole livestock industry is going backwards by the comments I have been reading. As the years have been going by I am seeing an overall improvement in everything from calving ease to fertility. Genetically we are making advancements with every generation entering the herd.
