[QUOTE="bbyou, post: 373578, member: 6338"] Proven vs Unproven. How do epd's fit into this equation? F1's as well as purebreds can each be proven herdsires, with or without the use of epd's. I suggested the use of epds in qualifying a potential herdsire, not proving him. The progeny will prove him. Again, if this breeder wants to use a 50:50 crossbred angus/beefmaster bull on his cows, (from my experiences, and assuming this animal is a quality animal from quality genetics) he should do so. You mentioned the F1 bull "brings on a whole nuther story." Let me ask you a question: 1. How is using unproven purebred bulls on F1 cows different from using an unproven F1 bull on purebred cows?
