[QUOTE="creekdrive, post: 1358833, member: 21216"] Thanks elkwc. The Northern Samurai bull on the top side (paternal grandsire) was a pretty popular bull back in his day from what I gather. He was born in 1986 - a year before I was... We aren't much for picking animals based on numbers but even I'll say his EPD's are awful for BW & CE. It causes me a bit of concern with that red bull calf pictured above. He was born with a moderate bw, but his sire was a 97lb bw so it is lurking back there. His dam has a lot better pedigree for calving ease. Frame size might also be a concern, although this guy doesn't look like he's going to be too framey right now. As long as they come easy I don't care too much about the actual BW. Mostly we focus on raising easy calving heifer bulls to sell, but like to keep one herd bull around that has a little more power & bw for guys looking for cow bulls. I think this guy should fit the bill if he keeps developing the way he is. It's a long time between now and next spring though. [/QUOTE]
