[QUOTE="East Caney, post: 447777, member: 2960"] Doc, I don't know the calves EPDs. I doubt his papers have been sent to BBU yet. BBU doesn't have calving ease EPDs, just BW. This calf is almost, if not 100%, Lasater breeding. He has years of low birthweight breeding in him. It's difficult to find bulls with birthweights over 80lbs being sold from the Lasater ranch. Interesting thought on hearth girth translating into dystocia. I knew course shouldered animals may increase that tendency. In my opinion, this calf shows quite enough potential, right now, to be considered for making a bull. It'll be interesting to see what he turns into. EC [/QUOTE]
