[QUOTE="SEC, post: 174980, member: 3241"] Yes, we would know of possible bwt differences between sires without EPD's. We wouldn't have a way of trying to measure it. I know of AI sires that flop around with bwt's and yet they are low bwt EPD calving ease bulls. Lots of 90lbs plus calves out of them. SAF Fame was like that at other places, how did he do at your place Seth? Reports landed that bull all over the board. I would still need something to show where we have benefitted from EPD's rather than strayed from the original goal set out for a breeding plan. [/QUOTE]
