[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1624861, member: 39695"] I tried to look up converting ebv to epd's. Couldn't quite find what I wanted. But I did read some on the Australian Angus web site. You read the calving ease the same, but I don't know if the scales are the same. In EPD's CED +4 is not acceptable for heifers. Neither is BW +3.5. But their bred now. So I would change their ration to grass or grass type hay and mineral. Calves grow the most the last trimester, so if you just maintain them the calves shouldn't be huge. You'll just have to baby sit them when they get close. You could still pelvic measure them just to get an idea if there are any that are way to small. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
