[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 7597"] Gentelmen, Me thinks you believe too much you are told.If your sisters were cows, People would pay about the same and expect the same production results if they were put in a breed sale because of their similiar epd,s; however if you were breeding blond cattle which would be the better choice? If you were needing more height which? What would be the reason for breed associations if it wasn't for calculating epd's? I think they are a parasite on the industry. They produce nothing, yet like interest on a loan they get a large share of the profit. If you think I,m wrong why dont' they consolidate their data and have one set of epd's and give the data to producers for free whether you register a calf or not.Please explain to me again how like data can produce like data, but like kind cannot produce like kind more quickly? Actual data that has repeatable results like weight , REA, hip height will get you there quicker. How many times have we used epd,s with high acc. only to find out later that they change and now this other sire's numbers. The numbers aren't repeatable even next year yet you have to live with them as long as his daughters are still alive for better or worse. enough already Ollie :D [/QUOTE]
