[QUOTE="blacksnake, post: 1113649, member: 566"] If you are mainly selling weaned calves, the best bet would be to find a calving ease high growth angus bull and not worry about all the carcass traits. Whatever bull you bull I would look at the calving ease of the past 2 or 3 generations to give you better odds of getting a calving ease high growth bull. This of course will mean that you are probably looking at a registered angus bull from a breeder you trust since the EPD's for birth weight, calving ease, and growth are all based upon data the producer submits. Not sure how many head you expect one bull to cover but I would be careful and not overload the bull especially if he is very young. If you and your friend calve year round or at least a few months apart, the bull can cover more cows. Right now decent bulls are not cheap. [/QUOTE]
