[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 13841"] I have to agree with Dunmovin, except I'd say use real Angus (the black ones). Most all breeds have some hard calving bulls, but Angus EPDs are quite reliable. The Angus Association recommends using a bull with less than 3 birth weight EPD on heifers. If the heifers are not well grown out or are a breed known for hard calving, I'd look at even a lower birthweight EPD. Good luck.... > Hi, looking for advice on what > breed to service 1 st calf > heifers..
