[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 122624, member: 2095"] I agree. I wasn't defending him; but a handful of steers that were overfattened doesn't concern me a great deal. My biggest problem with the bull is the birth weight EPD. I don't buy or recommend any Hereford with anything over a +5.5 Birth weight EPD. Every bull in the breed with anything over a 6 birth weight EPD would better serve the breed as bologna in my opinion. If my memory serves, this is a Devo son and Devo has pretty ~ideal numbers for birth weight, so this bull's numbers have probably gotten bad only as his calves started reporting in. I wouldn't use him (though Cert claims his cows can have 120 pound calves with no problem); but I recognize that there are persons who find this bulls growth numbers to be desirable and there are probably still herds that could use this bull in their herds.
