[QUOTE="vclavin, post: 862903, member: 13613"] Dun, Cow's throw 72lb calves not bulls!! Bulls actual BW means nothing by itself. Heifer will have her first calf at approx 90% of what she will calve at maturity. The bull then affects that weight and so does the environment. I have a bull with a -2.9 BW EPD , weight of his calves born depends on lots of the things but they are not all born at a special size (65-92) cows have BW EPD's too. Valerie PS. I agree with 3waycrosses assumption of my meaning. Also, I'd find out if he keeps track of heifers pelvic scores. [/QUOTE]
