[QUOTE="talltimber, post: 1371349, member: 22236"] This is an Angus yearling I'm looking at. I would appreciate any input you all may have concerning what you think the epd's are telling us. I have my ideas, but want to run this past those of you who have studied them and may be able to make me think in a direction I have not thought of. My old cows are generally not what I would call very large frame, my guess is 1400 lb average or maybe a little more, but keep a lot of condition year round. I'm thinking a bcs 6 or 7 plus on most all of them, with only supplement on cold, wet, ice/snow winter days (probably more because I feel sorry for them). I am understocked though right now. I am thinking a little more grow to my calves would not be a bad thing, but I am not going to feed cows when I get fully stocked. They are going to have to make it on grass during the year. I am looking for a young bull to put on my yearling heifers, to eventually move in to the main bull position. Thoughts? $B is 121.57 [url=https://postimg.org/image/lxa396n5v/][img]https://s13.postimg.org/lxa396n5v/2016_10_13_16_38_15.png[/img][/url] [/QUOTE]
