[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1850652, member: 42463"] One of the most useful classes I took in my college years,/Animal Science/Beef production education was a conformation class. With no doubt in my mind, I can say it has panned out as the best value for time and dollars spent than any of my other classes. I can look at bulls, first, and then make selections from EPDs from what I see in the bulls and how I select them... before the EPDs are a factor. If a bull doesn't make the cut with a visual inspection based in conformation, then it really doesn't matter what his EPDs are. Personally, I believe the weak animals we see today are the result of too many people depending on EPDs to make their decisions and all those EPDs are concentrated by injudicious of AI. [/QUOTE]
