[QUOTE="smnherf, post: 917017, member: 3235"] I would say that you can just about call the epds even, except for the bw and CE numbers of which the Boomer 1019 bull doesn't appear to have any data turned in to the association on him. The cow side of him does have a lot of data mostly through ET calves which may be good or bad depending on who did it. What are his actuals or have they even been taken? The 743 does have good ratios for CE and BW although not a lot of quality data going into those numbers. It really depends on what your looking for. The about time calves I have seen have been very inconsistent in terms of volume and muscle mass. I know of a couple that got extremely thin during the breeding season this past summer. Not a big fan of 743's pedigree either, but the 29F bull may be far enough back to get away with it. I have not seen any 743 daughters in production either. I would scrutinize the cow families behind each bull if it was me. I don't know if you realize it, but they both have a chance of being HY carriers if that matters to you. Good Luck Brian [/QUOTE]
