[QUOTE="Herefords.US, post: 721650, member: 3972"] If there is a "liar" involved it's most likely the EPDs and not the breeder. The key here is "young bull". The EPD accuracies on unproven bulls usually fall under .25 and when you put a LOT of faith in EPDS with that low of accuracy, its about the same as betting on a longshot in a horse race. That said, since you've had to pull that many calves, I'd look a lot closer at the way the heifers were managed before I put all the blame on the bull. George [/QUOTE]
