[QUOTE="3waycross, post: 447539, member: 6713"] Isn't that kinda what I said? I didn't pick the bull in question. His problem was that everything hit the birth canal at the same time. So a 75lb calf birthed like a 100lb calf. On a serious note I have become a fan of what the Gelbvieh breed brings to the table for growth, and fertility. I will however be very careful in the future re. confirmation. Another point I would like Doc to address is. Wouldn't you want or need better numbers from a Gelbvieh than an Angus, because of the baseline being higher in the Gelbvieh to begin with. In other words a Gelbvieh with a CE EPD going of 105 going to be a bigger problem to calve than an Angus with the same number? [/QUOTE]
