[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 143386, member: 2653"] txag, correctioon noted. He's right, it's better to compare two bulls of the same breed to know what to expect. Originally EPD's were designed to compare to the average of the breed. Epd's are changed frequently (most of the time yearly), but I believe using the 0 base would be simpler and more helpful for people to understand. Either way, I still belive that using a BW greater than 2 for an angus bull on heifers may cause problems with calving. [/QUOTE]
