I don't think 2 is the average. 2 would put a bull in the bottom 20% of the breed.RD-Sam":144qdkq0 said:3way, according to you there must be allot of people pulling calves from heifers, because breed average for CED is 2. :lol2: http://www.angus.org/nce/averages.aspx
Doc made a post a year or two ago about all the people selecting for low birth weight and how it was likely to hurt them in the growth department down the road, you might try and dig that post up.
As far as your comment about the AAA saying a 3 was safe for heifers just being propaganda, you would have to say the EPD's are just propaganda themselves, because it was all calculated by the same people.
