[QUOTE="redcowsrule33, post: 613411, member: 8629"] Ya know, I debated adding Bold Future to that post as I knew he wasn't technically FB (sigh). I was going to dig through his pedigree today and figure out his %FB but the website is not working well and, quite honestly, it's not worth the effort. I feel bad that we never really answered the poster's question as to whether anyone uses them. I guess the answer is, no one on these boards does. Please contact the people we referenced in the early part of the thread, I'm sure they will be happy to talk to you about their breed. As long as the thread is hijacked, lets take this further. Seeing as 1) many foreign herdbooks do not allow US PB Simms into their herdbook (or have them in a separate one) and 2) obviously the FB and PB have diverged radically based on the EPD's and phenotype (I have acutally seen ads where a breeder was bragging that you couldn't tell the difference between his red Simmis and Red Angus by sight - scary), does anyone think that the EPD's should be calculated separately for PB and FB? Would this make a difference in being able to compare them apples for apples like we can with the across-breeds adjustments we can make for other breeds, or wouldn't it? I am not advocating splitting the herdbooks, this is just a rhetorical question. [/QUOTE]
