Looks like a pretty good bull ( definitiely a cow maker/herd marker kinda bull ).
NICE calfing ease on daughters, Negative birthweight epd...moderate weaning and fairly moderate ( a touch High at +70's but still better than those feed killin +110's we see ) yearling weight epds.
Upside to moderating yearling weight epds is THAT moderates your future cow size.
Keep in mind, today's yearling get plenty big without slecting for bigger yet.
Also keep in mind the afore bull is only HALF of the calf result.
Sooo if you breed him ( with a -2.5 lb BW epd ) to a cow with a +2.5 lb BW epd, resultant calf should have pretty close to thee Exact actual avg of the sires bw and the dam's bw.
Say 7AN288 had an actual 71 lb bw combined to a dam with an actual 81 ...Calf BW should be in the 76 lb Actual range.
