[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 20073, member: 13"] Yes, you can't compare the EPDs of one breed with the EPDs of another. An Angus bull with a 0 BW EPD will sire smaller calves than a Charolais bull with a BW EPD of 0. MARC has created a set of across breed EPDs. I have a link somewhere if you want it. Here's the Angus site that suggests the best way to use EPDs when buying a bull: [url=http://www.angus.org/pubs/bullbuy.htm]http://www.angus.org/pubs/bullbuy.htm[/url] Good luck... [/QUOTE]
