[QUOTE="talltimber, post: 1397772, member: 22236"] If a guy uses high ced on heifers and low birth weight ( assuming a low bw is a below breed average number) and he wants cows to be able to have a low ced, high bw calf, I assume then that you are not keeping any heifers out of first calf heifers? And also assuming you are AI'ing the heifers and have the high ced/bw bull on cow herd (or AI'ing them too) ? Is a low bw/ced considered anything under breed average? If not, what is considered low, a negative bw? When I was looking at bulls I was looking for a 6+ ced and a positive bw number, negative numbers got disregarded right off the bat, didn't even look at them. His primary purpose was to put on heifers, and two yo first calvers that I thought my old bull would ride down, and depending on his calves would move on to the old cows to replace my old bull eventually.
