Are we too dependent on EPD's?

[QUOTE="Ranchin' Randy, post: 1727224, member: 42411"] I never said I could see direct results of genetic testing (outside of the results for Genetic Defects and Genetic Traits which we can see). I simply said I could show you which EPD's were based off genomic testing and which were not. Listen, I'm not here to argue. I'm here to ask a simple question. Do I (or we as an industry) depend too much on provided EPD's? I believe I know your answer and I appreciate the back and forth. So again, please don't take this as argumentative. As far as how ASA uses the results of the genomic testing to alter/adjust existing EPD's, I am not sure. I am sure there is a formula to adjust based off the testing results. Example - How much emphasis is put on the producer provided BW of 85 compared to the handful of genetic SNP regions associated to birthweight that may imply a much smaller birthweight? I am not sure.
