[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 198515, member: 2095"] This bull versus Avg 2004 Calf Crop Average EPDs: BW - 1.2________________3.7 WW - 16_______________ 38 YW - 25________________64 MM - 13________________14 M&G - 21_______________33 MCE - 0.7______________.6 SC - -0.2______________.6 I know some folks here place no value on the EPDs at all; but the only traits he is predicted to excel at (and EPDs are just predictors when there is no calves yet) are birth weight and maternal calving ease. He might make a decent heifer bull; but beefmaster cross cows SHOULD be able to handle most Herfs with no problem and should milk well enough for a growthier calf. Most Hereford ranches would have castrated this bull, IF they even allowed the pairing in the first place. [/QUOTE]
