[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1563552, member: 24565"] Is this due to too much fat on current kills or a counter to Wagyu and Akaushi potential market increase? And I guess $M is a counter to stability or the Herdbuilder type EPDs or indexes in other breeds? I'm not sure what a balanced index will do as folks can sort via Sire Search and figure what they want. And I know that a room full of folks in MO can tell me what a balanced cow is while she eating fescue in SC and trying to grow old as a productive cow. I do wish they would set up a stability rating to supplement or replace pathfinder. If they really want to fix EPDs, get a correct relation to all Angus so that old sires and registered animals on the edges get true numbers rather than 0 or minus due to the pivot year smoke screen. Funny that as some said the feet, udders and even the HP and DOC are not a focus. I guess if your focus is getting to terminal ASAP then the cattle do not have to last too long or function very well.
