[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 138242, member: 2095"] I agree with Rustler about not pushing Angus cross heifers with a Continental breed bull. According to the MARC data, birth wt EPD breed adjustement factors fall like this..... Angus 0 Red Angus 3.3 Hereford 3.4 Tarentaise 3.7 Salers 5.1 Gelbvieh 5.8 Limousin 5.9 Maine Anjou 6.5 South Devon 6.8 Simmental 6.8 Shorthorn 7.4 Pinzgauer 7.6 Charolais 10.5 Brahman 13.1 A Hereford with a +1 birth wt EPD would throw calves about the size of an Angus with a +4.4 birth wt EPD; while a Limousin with the same +1 number is the equivalent of an Angus with a +6.9 birth wt EPD. On the upper end, a Charolais with a -1 birth wt EPD actually about as heavy as a Hereford with a +6.1 or an Angus with a +9.5 birth wt EPD. [/QUOTE]
