[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 756169, member: 6543"] well the current standard by default is 50% so I think that should be the current minimum. I would like to see a long range plan for the minimum to go to at least 75%. this would hopefully enhance demand for those angus influenced females. Quality considerations are limiting demand now and not hide color. On a different theme we as a breed have been chasing the tail of carcass epd's for enough years now to make a difference and I do not see a difference being made. The epds are not the problem. In the early days epd's were generated from carcass data and now they are generated from sonogram data. I do not believe the two are highly correlated as they are touted to be. If they are why are angus carcasses in general not showing significantly improved quality and yield grades and why are so few hitting the CAB specs. Oh that's right......a passel of them are not angus at all. Yet they are eligible for CAB. [/QUOTE]
