[QUOTE="greenwillowherefords, post: 209635, member: 587"] The first herd bull I ever owned threw the 95 and the next year a 92. His actual BW was 87#, and his EPD was a tad under breed average. The next bull had an actual BW of 70#. He was the one who threw a 100# calf. Third bull, another 70# BW, sired 90# calf, lightest and earliest the cow ever has had. My point is, the 87# BW bull's calves averaged about the same as the 70# bulls' calves. The cow has more to do with it IMO. First 70# bull was about breed average BW EPD, second was about 2-3# under breed average BW EPD. [/QUOTE]
