[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 366302, member: 13"] Here's a link to MARC's across breed EPDs. To compare an Angus bull and Gelbvieh bull, you add 0 to the Angus bull's BW EPD and add 4.7 to the Gelbvieh bull's BW EPD. The Angus Assn recommends using a bull with a BW EPD of less than 3 on first calf heifers. So to match an Angus bull's 3 BW EPD, you'd need a negative (-)1.7 for Gelbvieh. The Gelbiveh Assn may have recommendations, too. I'd check their site.
