[QUOTE="3waycross, post: 896231, member: 6713"] Actually I believe that the conversion chart the Gelbvieh Assn uses might account for that. Even taking that into consideration the Gelbvieh assn does not issue complete EPD's on balancers these days. Just BW and a couple of others. BTW most breed assns calculate EPD's for ET calves and we all know they don't always play by the rules when it comes to birth weights. [b]Sometimes ya just need to figure a bit of Kentucky windage, that and the fact that virtually none of the BW data used to quantify EPD's is verified by ANYONE the EPD's on a PUREBRED aren't exactly the word of God either.[/b] [/QUOTE]
