[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 489481, member: 13"] Yes, you can cheat on BW reports if you want. But if you're using proven genetics, it won't make much difference. One BW is only one of thousands reported on bulls over the years. There have been bulls that started out with "good" numbers and as their accuracies went up, the numbers went "bad". I can also think of some that started off with average EPDs and got better as the data was reported. I'm grateful to breeders who jump out and use those young bulls and get their accuracies where we can use them. A quick look at a bull's pedigree, parent's EPDs, grandparent's EPDs, online at the Angus Assn will give you a pretty good idea if he's for real or not. [/QUOTE]
