[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 58313, member: 13"] Nope, I'd never suggest mistakes don't happen on big and small ranches. I'm disagreeing with the suggestion that big breeders routinely cheat to affect their cattle's EPDs. I'm impressed that you've been to national sales. I think it's good that they announce pedigree changes. Perhaps that was a catalog mistake and not a breeders' mistake? Why not? They're two different things. The birth date is when the calf is born and the pedigree is the dam and sire that produced the calf, in case you don't understand the difference. Just because they made a mistake on dates bulls were put with cows or pulled the wrong straw of semen out of the tank (examples) doesn't mean they don't know when a calf was born. That's why we have DNA testing; to get things right. [/QUOTE]
