[QUOTE="Herefords.US, post: 609051, member: 3972"] I don't know, I don't think show cattle breeders would have too much luck showing dead calves. I know that an actual BW that high would have been even unusual for Remitall's operation in Canada, based on the data I've looked at. Rather than trust EPDs, I would tend to distrust them even more in this bull's case. Based on his performance pedigree, he appears to be the only animal in his "peer" group- BW index 100%, WW index 100%. Thank goodness they disclosed the actual BW or no one would know. He definitely should have ended up as a steer, rather than a bull for sale. George [/QUOTE]
