Lost calving books, how to figure out BW?

[BIZIN]

Hey all, I lost my calving books and have 12 bulls that we kept back, but now we dont know their BW to figure out if any can be heifer bulls. Is there any way to figure out somehow through their EPD's or something that is any way accurate? They are Horned Herefords.

Nothing replaces an actual birth weight. All you can do is search the EPD's of any of the registered animals in the pedigree here:

Even then, it only helps provide an estimate as to what to expect from resulting calves.
