I will say that mine is the BRL CALL 100L. He is thick, thick, THICK. Also raises champions in the show ring. This is my favorite, but what is your alls favorite bull?

Take care.

The reason I ask is that I've been looking at AI bulls for a few weeks now and I'm seeing a lot of bulls with negative 2-3 CED and BWs of 5-6+. Now, I'm just getting into the EPD side of cattle, but those numbers seem to be going the wrong way for people like me who want to breed replacements.
Anybody care to share info on personal experiences with bulls that are in these marginal ranges? Like, in the hereford breed, at what BW do you typically start having calving problems from a hereford cow?
