[QUOTE="talltimber, post: 1371388, member: 22236"] My cow (some with a little cross a ways back) numbers, epd's, would have to be assumed as I have but a few registered two yr olds, the rest are commercial angus/cross. I thought the numbers on this bull would be a good balance to increase my growth a little, but still work on first calf heifers (both ced, bw, and weight of the bull) and still be an increase in growth over what I have to help the cows maybe. I currently have a CC&7 son that, iirc, milk is in the mid 20's, bw 3.3. His calves do pretty good I think and he has little calves. Calving issues with the cows are almost non existent and I like it that way. How much does, say, an epd difference of 8 make? If my cows are assumed 24 and his number is 32? My cows would pull his number down correct, or how does that work? So the heifers I keep out of him may wind up in the upper 20's? [/QUOTE]
