[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 139133, member: 13"] What Beefy said. But if every other Angus bull in the US died and I had to choose between the two you mention, I'd probably go with the bull with the good bloodlines and EPDs. Every research article that I've read tells me that EPDs are the best indicator of an animal's breeding potential. My own experience tells me that managment (or mis-management) greatly affects a bull's own performance and looks. My neighbor creep feeds his calves; we don't. He gets higher weaning weights than we do, but, since we use much the same genetics, we usually have similar yearling weights. This is assuming that both bulls are fertile and sound. [/QUOTE]
