[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 7632, member: 13"] Or maybe they can produce new gentics several times a year under controlled conditions, see that they have erred, and change the breeding for the next litter. Changing genetics in cattle takes much longer and they still have to work in all environments and under various management systems. Chicken and hog breeders are working with animals they know everything about. They have generations of data on them. There are a lot of mixed breed cattle in my area that the owner doesn't have a clue about their genetics or what sort of beef they produce. But he can use EPDs to select a bull in the top of his breed for qualities that should make the calves profitable, growth and marbling. If you don't like, understand, or use EPDs, that's fine. But serious cattle producers across the US have overwhelmingly accepted and use them. [/QUOTE]
