[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 294558, member: 13"] You add the adjustments to the bull's actual EPDs. So if you're using an Angus bull with average EPDs: BW 2.3, WW 38, YW 71 And the average for Char: BW 1.2, WW 21, YW 37 Since the adjustment for Angus is 0, the figures won't change. But if you adjust, using the average EPDs on Chars, you get: BW - 1.2 + 10 = 11.2 WW - 21 + 38 = 59 YW - 37 + 53 = 90 So, for nine more pounds of BW, you get 19 more pounds of YW. Weaning weight you get 21 more pounds if you use a Char bull with average EPDs compared to an Angus bull with average EPDs. Both breeds have bulls with better numbers than those. PS - I messed this up once, please correct me someone if I'm wrong again. :) [/QUOTE]
