Another site explaining EPD's

[Nesikep]

I found another site that explains EPD's better than most I have seen, because it gives units of measurements for each, etc

It helped me..

Just don;t use the numbers given for the various breeds as gospel. Since that was published, Gelbvieh, Simmenthal and Red Angus have merged their EPDs. Also the number given, at least for Red Angus are not even close with todays EPDs

I did notice the data for the breeds was 2002!. The explanations are good however.

Since Gelbvieh, Simm and RA have merged, I suppose that means you can compare them directly?

I think you can. That was supposed to be the point in doing it.

Good to know.. I wouldn't mind if Limo joined up in that, but I guess it's easy enough to figure out

Shorthorns are now also on the same base with Simmental, Red Angus, etc.
