[QUOTE="mrvictordomino, post: 1247970, member: 14333"] I don't think so......I am not a big fan of epd's mainly because I think many are fabricated, that being said, most of the larger herds and A.I. studs select primarily based on epd's...... Some of the better herds of cattle I have seen locally are folks doing a fundamentally good job selecting and breeding cattle with little or no influence of the show ring or A.I. bulls. Most of the time you can get some good genetics for your herd for a more reasonable price since their overhead is much lower. It irks me to hear someone talk about his bull being a A.I. sired calf, like that makes him better. Good solid genetics being raised in your environment would be a better and smarter choice than traveling miles to purchase from a very highly promoted program.... I think you would get better service also. Just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
