[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 338584, member: 4353"] I can't vouch for the credibility and there is indeed a lot that is very Bonsma-ish. I think that we should remember that Bonsma was a real pioneer in trying to quantify observations and that very little further research has been done after him with regards to functionality and adabtility in cattle and the effects in there of in practice. Maybe we shouldn't stare ourselves blind in the boundaries set in the "statistics", byt rather try and get the bigger picture. Breeding has been in the past and will be in future a very imprecise science with a lot of it being down to common sense. I think we should learn from this type of research and use our own common sense in the application in our own breeding programs. [/QUOTE]
