[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 32168, member: 97"] Thats a good weaning weight- although weaning weights can vary greatly due to location and range conditions. He has about a perfect birthweight for me- I am getting lazier as I get older and don't care to pull calves much. I like those little calves that come on their own and are up in a couple minutes sucking. Rather have a live 70 lb calf than a dead 100 lb calf. His epd's are even and balanced- nothing way too high or low. I like the fact that his milk epd's aren't too high- should produce decent heifers that could go on and raise a calf. Some of the bulls anymore ( with the +30+milk epd's) produce heifers that just put too much into their calves and don't breed back. [/QUOTE]
