[QUOTE="gizmom, post: 1545266, member: 13402"] Tall timber To clarify I think CE is the number to look at as an example a bull with an actual birth weight of 81 pounds and a 3.2 birth weight EPD with a +6 CED, would you use this bull on heifers? How about a bull with a 75 pound actual birth weight and a 3.1 birth weight EPD with a +5 CED? I started this thread not because I know all the answers but because I have been giving the subject a lot of thought. Most folks would look at bulls with over a 3.0 bw EPD and not even consider using him. I honestly would consider using them, but I would also factor in the actual birth weight, and genetics.
