[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 1092064, member: 637"] All farms do not have 100% superior-cookie cutter calves. The excellent EPD's numbers thare passed down from the parents, but not all the genetics were received. That is why we should be very careful when choosing what we breed to. Just because the numbers on the papers are there, it doesn't mean that the bull will pass it on to your calf, as he didn't receive it himself. The bull is in good shape, with a healthy layer of fat. You cannot add the muscle or lengthen the hip, or make a muscle grow from his rump to his hock by just putting on more weight. His rump will not stick out further, it will stay in the same proportion. No matter how much fat you add to him, he will still look the same, just fatter. The bull is just too light muscled to improve your cows. Go with a higher octane bull as there are many. [/QUOTE]
