[QUOTE="jscunn, post: 1340148, member: 1257"] GM, I am probably not the guy who should pick heifer bulls for anyone else..but personally on our heifers it would not scare me, that being said I did see that gave me some pause on just saying yes for everyone.. The EPDS themselves dont scare me hasnt been that long ago that anything less than +3 on BW was heifer safe.. CED is good for me on Calving ease. But ... here are the things I see that bother me alittle. The sire of 37 sure has a fairly high bw for a bull with that many progeny... (over 1000) The second thing is historically OCC cattle like the dam of C37 have poor CEM numbers..I have no experience with them to relate to.. Questions: What was C37 s actual BW? Are the shoulders laid in nice and tight? If those questions are good then you are good probably... :) [/QUOTE]
