Does more pounds per acre make up for being docked at the sale barn for small frame size?

[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1824703, member: 40587"] Question? On a bull's EPDs, are the bw, ww, etc, only recorded for calves for registered cows of the same breed? I had mentioned earlier in this thread, that I am going to wean those 22 Plummer calves next year at exactly 205 days old for each one, and weigh them. Then I asked would that do me any good since I won't be able to weigh them the day they are born. I see in your post above that it would be of value to me, in comparing how each individual cow did, just knowing what the calves weighed in 205 days. or if I weaned each one at exactly 180 days, etc. But, if I did weigh at birth, and at 205 days, ..calculated the adjusted ww, etc. would there be any need in sharing the data with the owner of the registered Chi-Angus bull?: Can he use date from commercial cows for his bull's EPDs? Or the guy that has the regsitered Black Simm cows that he breeds to registered Chi-Angus bulls, and registered Chi-Angus cows he breeds to registered black Simm bulls: Would or could the data from these calves , be used in the EPDs for those bulls?
