[QUOTE="NEFarmwife, post: 1563568, member: 26897"] This will be interesting. None of us ever really know the weight of each value when considering an EPD. But I always found that marbling was our main target and something I felt our herd needed improvement on. I am glad to see it emphasized even more and I think will be more in line with where things are shifting. Grading is becoming so important as standards change. Because at the end of the day, they're all steaks. That is where we shifted our focus last year. Remember, our operation we finish out ourselves. But I also feel it is important for those who sell at weaning, to keep the end producer in mind because good quality calves will help you achieve a better market for your herd. I'd love to see more indexes for the maternal side. [/QUOTE]
