[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 611072, member: 13"] The polled trait is dominant over the horned trait. If your cattle are several generations Angus, you're not [b]likely[/b] to get any horned calves anyway. But, of course, I'd say stay with the Angus bull. ;-) But with any breed, study the calving ease and birth weight EPDs. Here's a website that converts EPDs between breeds. It's a couple of years old, maybe someone has a chart from 2008?
