[QUOTE="angus9259, post: 721686, member: 7398"] Funny how irony strikes at just the right time . . . Just had a bull calf between my postings. A Traveler 004 calf - 70 lbs 4 days early. EXACT same cow on the exact same pasture on the exact same hay had a bull calf last year from SAV Bismark that was 100 lbs. Check the EPDs on those bulls! The ONLY difference was this calf came today (Dec 18) and her last calf came in February (about a week early) after a brutally cold winter. But maybe that didn't even matter. Maybe it just falls into the "what the . . . ??!?!" category. :???: Don't get me wrong. I use EPDs and I submit data for EPD development. But the bull is only part - at times a small part - of the equation. I guess - being a bull supplier and all - I just don't like the implications that when something goes wrong the bull supplier is either a lier or doesn't get it. [/QUOTE]
