[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 662277, member: 7509"] I am not an experienced cattleman however my experience so far is that EPD's are VERY helpful. I just had my first calf crop out of a Huth bull T021. The vet and I just worked/weighed the herd on Friday and one of the bull calves born on 4/18 now weighs 185 lb and looks like my next herdsire. All 8 calves were born in a 21 day period. Lightest was 65 lb heaviest was 87 lb. Calving ease EPD's turned out to be very accurate in real life. I have trouble not bragging about T21 but I am amazed at his performance so far. I know 8 calves isn't much compared to most of you. There will be more next year. It looks to me like EPD's, from a reliable honest breeder, can be very helpful. Obviously you need to look at the bull also but I trust a good breeder will not be selling EPD's only. I was not able top get to Jerry's sale last Saturday but would have loved to see how his bulls looked in person this year. Jim [/QUOTE]
