[QUOTE="thommoos, post: 1304220, member: 738"] 1st and foremost calving in one year, this one I'm culling next week, she has for the last 3 years calved at 14 months, gave her a break 2 years ago. 2nd wean weights i culled one that averaged less than 2 lbs (1.75)a day while the others were above 2 lbs. and the one going next week also 1.5 a day. though I am not really leaving just not active in the breed association any more. When you really tried to judge animal in the Southeast by epd's, breeders were not and are not documenting their performance . I ran a Bull through the Auburn bull test some years ago, he was the only one that fit the age group, he was just a bull, nothing special to me breeding wise, he placed 4th overall. But that did not matter at the breeder sales it was about looks and name. Could not get a decent price for his offspring with a performance tested Bull. [/QUOTE]
