[QUOTE="Cormac, post: 255338, member: 3980"] The above referenced bull has never sired offspring so who comes up with the initial numbers listed in the Angus EPD's, The Angus Assoc. or the breeder of the bull. If it is the breeder, isn't there temptation for some to "fudge" numbers. To come up with the BW listed, it certainly is not the average of the Sire and dam (3.9 and .2). With my math it averages 2.05 not .3 [/QUOTE]
