[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 655781, member: 7509"] I agree with Wisteria's combination of the two - first EPD's THEN wrapping paper. Since I am a newcomer and not good at judging wrapping paper and an engineer by training I tend to look a bit more at the EPD's and others advice on the wrapping paper. It does seem to me that there should be a visual coordination between some of the EPD's and the wrapping paper. Low backfat for one... So far the EPD's have seemed to be very accurate on my first bull purchase, (T021). As calving ease is my #1 priority the calving so far this year has been amazing and very much in line with what his EPD's indicate. The calves have been easy calving, uniform, mostly close together and overall look great. Here's are pictures of two. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_0103_1.JPG"]1[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_0094_2.JPG"]0[/ATTACH] Now we will see if the growth EPD is accurate. None of what I need would be obvious by the wrapping paper, at least to me. Thanks for posting the article. Jim [/QUOTE]
