[QUOTE="dun, post: 22568, member: 34"] Years ago we had the same deal. A client had a mixed herd that we bred to a Lincoln Red bull. All of the calves were tiny-tiny little things, except one cow that threw a 100 plus calf. The next year we bred everything to a Gert bull, all the calves were the same size, just a good 75-80 lb calf. He decided he liked those Lincoln Red calves so well we bred everything to him again. You guessed it, tiny-tiny calves, except the same old cow threw a monster. Calves are half of the equation, and sometimes I think maybe a little more then half. Because the Red Angus CE EPDs are s new they're going to lack the accuracy that I would like, but they help, especially when combind with BW and the hidden ingredient. That being experience with that particular bull. dun [/QUOTE]
