[QUOTE="Scotty, post: 143392, member: 78"] 2.0 in Angus is still a small calve. I had a cow bred to a 5.4 BW bull and got a 74 lb calve. If the heafers are developed properly and are in the correct body shape there is not reson they can't have a 65 lb calve. Which is the average for my bull BW. He has a BW EPD of 2.0. Not all bulls will be this way. But like I said the developement of the heifer has alot to od with it. Some body will come along and tell of the horror story they had with the negative BW bull on heifers. Still I feel the majority of true breeding females will do fine with a 2.0. Scotty [/QUOTE]
