[QUOTE="lowellcantrell, post: 998999, member: 20263"] EPDs do carry some weight; especially concerning birth weight. However, having dealt with many heifers over the past years, I would say the pelvic size of the heifer is the most important. I try not to keep any heifer that has a plevic measurement under 200. This way it doesn't matter what she is breed to. Unless the calf is turned wrong, or the heifer is up against something, the birth will be a live birth. [/QUOTE]
