[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 43553, member: 13"] Actual performance is highly correlated to management. These five bulls are in a contemporary group. They were all born Jan-Feb of '04. Their dams all raised them, side by side, on grass. I've reported their actual WW to the Angus Assn. and got the adjustments. Their actual performance (WW in this case) will help build EPDs for the Angus breed, but have little effect on their own EPDs (which are quite good, BTW). Since many people who buy our bulls sell calves at weaning, they want a bull with a high WW EPD. So when I start considering AI bulls to breed my cows, I'll pay close attention to their WW EPD.
