Just finished looking at the 2014 Hereford epd's and the information for the sire of my bull was an incredibly accurate description of how he is developing. It says low fat, he is all muscle. It says behind the curve wean and yearling weights, which was also accurate because he was line bred. I have seen larger wean and yearling weights from the sire on the calves from bigger females. Big scrotum, accurate. Direct and maternal calving ease was accurate. REA is accurate.
So it looks like they have the basics nailed down to a fair degree of accuracy.
To quote the Vice President, this a big effing deal.
