[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1582629, member: 9096"] Here's how I see any association doing itself a disservice, and that's leaving dishonest practices out of it. You find a new EPD to publish and collect data on, fine, but there's always going to be people chasing numbers. the $whatever EPD's are especially prone to it I think, especially when the formula is kinda a "black box" (anyone got the actual formula?) This new $M is a great example because different traits are going to matter more or less in different environments, but the association, being nationwide, has to make a judgement call on what is considered "good"... and that might not be what you need in your area.
