[QUOTE="BRG, post: 345814, member: 2397"] No ratios are made on an ET calf. pretty big assumption saying "any cattleman worth his salt will look at the actual bw, along with the epd" I think it is more important to look at the actual animal and see if he is big shouldered or big headed, or maybe he is just 5 inches longer or shorter than the rest. Actual birthweights, especially ET calves, don't mean a whole lot, when you look at the shape and length of the calf born. [/QUOTE]
