[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 6055"] Epd's gives you an Idea of what you can expect in the future calves, but I think that it's just an idea. For the last 70 years my family have never used Epd's and we have been raising excellent registered cattle and we have been selling excellent beef. In the American market, the inconsistencies of the Angus breed have influenced all the breeds. I personally will never use a Black whatever breed in my herd specially in my commercials, I will prefer to use Fullbloods or Purebreds with the original characteristics of it's breed, not a Black Limo or Black Simmie or Black whatever, but if you will use a Black just check the Epd and see if it's progeny is what you are looking for. > Alejandro, thank you for all your > posts.
