[QUOTE="Cormac, post: 255308, member: 3980"] Been looking at Bulls lately. Low birth weight is very important to me. Growth is important, as is Milk. If a young bull has never produced offspring, how do they arrive at numbers? Do they initially simply average the parents EPD's? I ask this after looking at a bull whose sire had a birth weight of 3.9 and the dam had -.2. This bull is listed with a BW of .3. This would be right in line with what I am looking for if it was accurate. What I do not want is a close to 4 BW bull. BW accuracy numbers listed .36. [/QUOTE]
