[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1545789, member: 24565"] Why worry about EPDs and EBVs if you do not believe them? Are you looking at low marbling or no marbling? Inferior to what? Quality grade might not pay as well, yield grade might be poorer to get more marbling, but eating quality is a regional/personal choice as not everyone want super rich meat or can afford it. Calf producers will always return more money due to cow fertility, function and longevity than what the packed gets paid for or pays for. Doesn't mean the terminal sire should not be selected for carcass issues but if that is the case the entire calf crop should be bred and sold as terminal and the cow herd should be built with an eye towards the cows.
