[QUOTE="gringo, post: 596002, member: 8979"] Breeding stud cattle is not just a science - theres a bit of art to it too. As an old Scots Shorthorn breeder once told me when I was expounding on the merits of EPDs in crossing different bloodlines: " Och lad thats fine, but do they nick?" All systems rely on the honesty of the breeder who submits the data. Personally I will not buy any semen from a breeder who I havent met, seen his operation and assesed his honesty and experience. Only then will I look at the data. I dont use EPDs as I feel they dont tell the whole story and omit things my customers want to know. To name a few: fertility, longevity, dental health and service capacity and calving ease of a particular bloodline. I have assesed and looked at Supergene and its definitely not suitable for my farming system here in South America Yes I am a Red Poll breeder [/QUOTE]
