[QUOTE="BryanM, post: 1104108, member: 6828"] Man am I confused now :???: I have just read ton and ton of info on epds and weither to base your bull decision on them, using them as a guide or only believing a slight amount or totally believing in them. Here is my situation: I own currently 3 cows and 2 heifers the breed is shorthorn. ( yes a hobby farm) I would like to cross 3 of the herd with red angus bulls. This is what my goals are with my small herd; I am looking for the best of both worlds 50% show and 50% commercial or in each animal. I am looking to grow my herd by a few within, so I am looking for a calve that would make good mothers with decent pedigrees that I can breed with some top notch bulls that would make some nice show calves but also hold there own in sales? So what bulls do I use red angus wise? Of course main concern is calving ease any suggestions? I was thinking above and beyond for a heifer, fat tony, sekic? any others that you think would give good results [/QUOTE]
