[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 470213, member: 2095"] These are both proven veteran bulls with 100++ progeny in the database. I don't really CARE what they actually weighed themselves at this point. There are plenty of bulls who weaned at less than 600 pounds who are growthier sires than 700+++ lb bulls. It is what their calves do, not what they did that matters. When you don't have actual performance you look at predicted EPDs. When you don't have progeny you look at actual performance and predicted EPDs; but once you have progeny the only thing that matters is the EPD and the EPDs tell us that there is NO significant difference between Online and M326 in the growth EPDs. I also don't give a rip about who would beat who in Denver. M326 has A LOT more pigment and A LOT less white than Online which means he will sell more commercial bulls to the people that matter....the bull buyers not the dog and pony show people. From the glamour photos I do find Online's topline to be more desirable though. Then you add in the fact that M326 is a Hereford with IMF. [/QUOTE]
