We have always been a commercial operation. My grandpa and dad always used purebred bulls, sometimes they were registered and sometimes they were not. They never cared a lick about epd's. I realize you can't pick animals based only on epd's but I think they are an excellent tool to give you a good idea of what to expect. So my question is for those of you that are more knowledgeable in this than me-
Dad is hoping to get either an angus or a black Simmental next. We will have 6 heifers to breed. As far as CE and BW what is the cutoff where you say that it is not a good bull to use on heifers. We are not a big enough operation to justify the use of two bulls.
