[QUOTE="cowperson, post: 596460, member: 4011"] I look at the BW, CED and GL if available. Also check the the accuracy of the EPD's if the accuracy is high than the EPD is more reliable. I also look up the bull using his registration number and check out his pedigree to see if there are any sires or dams that have high BW. Of course even after all that investigating you could have a cow that would have a problem but you can be assured that you did everything you could to put a bull in with cows that should throw lower birth weight calves and reduce the odds of having calving problems. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
