[QUOTE="Old_man_emu, post: 898642, member: 17893"] In Australia not all breeds are measured by the same traits as not all breed societies place the same emphasis on the same traits and they also have different $indexs. Australian EBV's ( I know you're talking about EPD's) are based on being above or below breed average, all breeds would then have to measured against the same "average" and that would be to hard to agree upon. Particular breeds could excel unfairly against others if the average was set too high. I think an example of this would be comparing growth rates of Red Poll against Charolais on a single base. I don't think it can work. [/QUOTE]
