[QUOTE="Keren, post: 290464, member: 3195"] Of course he will be able to know about calving ease and pedigree without paying for papers. It is not impossible. Its not even that difficult. There will be plenty of unregistered, commercial bulls that were out of stud cows, or commercial cows with known ancestry, and so their blood lines are known, even if they are not registered. As for calving ease, you certainly don't need an EPD for that. By looking at the bull's shape and asking the owner about his birth weight, the sire's birth weight and if he has produced any calves, their weights. A good producer will have these records, even if the cattle aren't registered. It's called RAW DATA, and IMO far more reliable than EPDs. [/QUOTE]
