[QUOTE="gizmom, post: 1850647, member: 13402"] Keep in mind I’m old school goes back to me trying to select AI sires by taking cows EPD’s and Bull’s EPD and dividing by 2 to establish expected EPD of calf. Back then we looked at bw ww, yw and milk. Those to me are still the most important numbers. The foot EPD is still a long way from having enough true data entered same with hair and chances are if Marbling is super high I won’t be a fan of the phenotype. I guess you just have to figure out which number you can’t live without. [/QUOTE]
