[QUOTE="CreekAngus, post: 1584461, member: 38224"] How many generations must one produce before they can be considered a real breeder? And I’m talking phenotype and quality of animal, not epd’s. I say at least 4 generations of your own doing. Proof that your decision making has been good or when poor, you corrected it (culling). You can change epd’s in two generations, especially in a small herd, but that doesn’t mean you’ve created good cattle. I think by the fourth generation a lot of your bad breedings will come to light; poor udders, bad feet, narrow hips, lack of rib, poor breed back. [/QUOTE]
