[QUOTE="JWBrahman, post: 1155035, member: 18439"] I am 100% behind total herd reporting and blood testing. My money goes to the guys and gals collecting data and doing the right thing. This was a unique situation where the breeder I purchased my Hereford from had used the sire Perfect Timing more than the group of owners. He is heterozygous polled and the polled side throws scurs. I only saw one Perfect Timing bull calf in the Churchhill sale. So the majority of the data was the data my breeder submitted. It was a perfect situation to double check her integrity and to test the accuracy of the new numbers. Now if we could just convince the breed registries to add a hip height index. This is an important piece of information I collect on all the cattle. Yearling and 2 year old hip heights would really flesh out EPDs. [/QUOTE]
