[QUOTE="grubbie, post: 669934, member: 5478"] I like to look at the info in the EPD, but I don't live and die by it by any means. If I like the look of the bull, but the EPD is less than stellar, I will probably ignore the EPD and purchase the bull. If I like the EPD, but don't like the look of the bull, Again I will probably ignore the EPD, and NOT purchase the bull. The EPD may influence my decisions in a herd bull purchase, but only in a small way. For a heifer bull, however, I will live and die by that BW number, no matter what any other number says, including weaning weight. I'm sure if I were raising registered stock or a commercial feeder operation I would pay more attention. [/QUOTE]
