[QUOTE="txag, post: 7599, member: 8"] it's also a little hard to judge a bull's udder & determine his milk production. another thing to consider is the possibility of folks changing birth dates or submitting lower birth weights or higher weaning weights than the actual weight (although this wouldn't happen because all cattlemen are honest). say you happen to be looking to buy from this person who says his calves are a month younger than they actually are. if they have really low growth epd's but are really big because of the age discrepancy, you might be able to catch some kind of clue. epd's are collected from folks all over so hopefully if there are a few inaccurate numbers reported, the accurate information will outweigh it.
