Cowboy Logic #11.5
At a multi-breed bull sale a couple years ago, Don Laughlin, the past
regional manager in this area for the American Angus Association, got
acquainted with a bull buyer sorting through the Angus bulls. Noticing
the buyer wouldn’t pay attention to bulls over +3 lbs. for BW EPD,
Don asked him if the bull was going to breed a lot of heifers. The man
replied, “No, I just don’t want any calving trouble.” Don started to
inform the man that virtually no Angus bull today should cause major
calving difficulty with cows that have already raised a calf, but seeing
the man had his mind already made up, refrained from arguing with
him.
Don didn’t see him again until after the sale. “Did you get a bull?”
Don asked. “Yeah, I got a Charolais,” he replied. “What was his BW
EPD?” Don asked. “Three,” was the reply. “Do you realize a three lb.
Charolais is the same as a 12 or 13 lb. Angus?” Don asked. The bull
buyer just looked at him in disbelief.
The fact is, according to the most recent U.S. Meat Animal Research
Center data released in 2011, a +3 BW Charolais is equivalent to a
+11.6 BW EPD Angus.
