[QUOTE="movin' on, post: 332496, member: 5626"] Green willow, I think you are right on. I buy my bulls from a local breeder....very small time guy. They are Angus bulls that he has blended from all over the country. I will put his bulls up against anybody elses bulls and I mean that. I don't have the EPD's memorized so no one has to bother asking me for them...sorry! I really don't need to see the EPD's to decide whether his bulls are right for me or not. The bulls are the thickest, deepest, widest, most powerful bulls I have ever seen in the Angus industry. They take a backseat to no exotic breed in those areas and that is really hard to do with an Angus. He absolutely does not follow fads and that, I believe, has got him where he is today. One thing I do know about their EPD's....they are all plus on the birthweight! If my cows are not able to lay down and have a plus two or three or more on their own then I have no business expecting the calves to be big and soggy in the fall. Angus cattle are calving ease....they need very little help in that area...he is focusing on muscling and performance and that is not the fad in the Angus world. [/QUOTE]
