[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1473247, member: 24565"] Famous last words. :stop: Buy a large tombstone so that the entire quote can be put on for all of the world to view and little children can read and know better next time. A temperament problem that is widespread in a line or is easily transferable is genetic. It may show up in an individual and it may skip a generation. But you are going to see it for a long time. A better epitaph for a grave marker: "The best way to get out of trouble is not to get into trouble". I have glanced at this thread along and others. EPDs are toted until we want to do what we want to do and then the "I guess everybody has different ideas", "I like our calves", "I might try him anyway" kicks in to say that a bull that combines proven -CED and -CEM or has the disposition of an idiot animal is OK because of personal preference. Either the EPDs work or they don't. Maybe they are inaccurate or have low accuracy or maybe somebody skewed the data for their interest in some cases. But in the long run, EPDs will paint a frame around a line or herd of cattle that tell you what you might expect in the big picture. On a proven individual then you narrow in on the focal point of the issue. R. I.P. [/QUOTE]
