[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1572970, member: 14585"] Looks like a nice thick bull. I'll give you a quick analysis of his epds. Both his calving ease and bw epd are in bottom 4% of the breed, so not a heifer bull. GM top 4% = He's an excellent bull for terminal production. GM - GridMaster epd focuses solely on feedlot and carcass traits with NO consideration as to replacement heifer value. adg - top 1% ww top 14% yw top 4% HB - Herd Builder measures the production value of females both as momma cows and as feedlot heifers. HB top 22% I'd expect his replacement females will be slightly below breed average and the high HB comes from his daughters performance as feedlot heifers. Not saying he won't sire usable replacement females, but you'll probably sort out more for the feedlot than the keeper pen vs the average Red Angus bull. M = Daughter Milk and Mothering ability.... his M is bottom 26% CEM bottom 38% Stability top 29% heifer pregnancy rate - breed average I think you'll be happy with his calves. What kind of cows will he be breeding? [/QUOTE]
