[QUOTE="Tod Dague, post: 295964, member: 61"] Forgive me, I'm slow. Lets just talk about the Wean and TM EPDs and pretend milk is not a factor. If one bull has a wean EPD 20 lbs higher than another we would expect the wean wt. of the calves to be 20 lbs higher on the average. Is this true of cows? If so then a cow with a Wean EPD 20 lbs higher than another we should expect her calves to wean 20 lbs heavier on the average. If all of that is true then why is the wean EPD divided in half when calculating the TM? [/QUOTE]
