[QUOTE="Tod Dague, post: 295536, member: 61"] If bull A has a wean EPD of 50 and bull B has a wean EPD of 30 bull A calves "should" average 20 lbs heavier at 205 than bull B when bread to identical cows. If you have two cows with a milk of 20, one a wean of 50 and the other 30 shouldn't the cow with the 50 wean calves average 20 lbs heavier when bread to the same bull? But when figuring added pounds from a cow you are suposed to look at total maternal which cuts the wean EPD in half. The reason that I have been told is the cow only contributes half of the genetics to the calf. Isn't that the same for the bull? [/QUOTE]
