[QUOTE="farmerD44, post: 245714, member: 2126"] the calves were born in march. Their mothers calved to new design 208 last year and those calves were farther along as this point- so i was expecting even better performance from this bull with his higher growth epds. Also have a couple calves from 5050 out of simmental heifers and they are also rather small compared to the rest of my calves. Our calves from GAR yield grade were a little better but still not as good as expected. Will be interesting to see what our Gridmaker calves look like next year-since his epd's are supposed to be %90 plus in accuracy. I am thinking that maybe our new herdbull will have better calves than our AI sires :roll: - which isnt a bad thing i guess- just hate to put all that work into AI and get worse calves. [/QUOTE]
