[QUOTE="showing71, post: 818662, member: 11621"] The EPDs on one of the sons: CED 2 BW: 1.2 WW: 34 YW: 57 Milk: 6 TM: 23 ME: 1 Actuals: BW: 88lbs WW: 674 YW: 1156 The other sons have EPDs that are in about the same range. I know the cow has influence in BW also. My concern stems from an experience this calving season. We used a AI bull who had a BW EPD of 1.2, the cow has a BW of 0.8, and we got a calf that had to be pulled and weighed 120lbs. I did a little digging and found that the AI bull's sire had a 4.2 BW. I know this might be a fluke, but that is my hesitation with having a son from bull with such poor EPDs. [/QUOTE]
