Are we too dependent on EPD's?

[QUOTE="Ranchin' Randy, post: 1727194, member: 42411"] I tend to do that in life. In all reality, I don't have many questions at the moment. Cattle aren't new to us as we've done it all our lives. What peaked my interest most was the amount of people I read on here that disregard EPD's in their animal selections. This puzzled me as it is used by us as a selection tool. It is, by far, not the only tool but I do put some weight behind the ASA Herdbook. I was more curious on where other's stood with EPD's being used as selection tools and how much weight others put on these numbers. Clearly some believe they're crap, others put weight into it, and some likely live by these numbers. [/QUOTE]
