[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 1154983, member: 7509"] I have found the same thing: the AHA EPD's on my Huth bull seem to reflect his calves very closely. Especially his CED calving ease. Calves about fell out of the back of my cows this past spring. Lighter birth weights even out of my larger cows but seem to be gaining well. Older bull calves developing very good SC. I agree. I think the AHA is getting the EPDs figured out. Combined with the new DNA requirement for bulls should clean things up over the years. I appreciate the Hereford breeders like Jerry Huth that report their whole herd and report accurately.
