[QUOTE="dun, post: 1231049, member: 34"] People keep forgetting that EPDs are based on a bell curve and that only 33% will fall within that bell. In other words, even at an accuracy of.9 you will still have extremes on either side of the actaul EPD nuber. We had a 54 lb heifer born from a heifer bred to a bull that we've always gotten 70-75 lb calves from even from mature cows. That could be an EPD thing or it could simply be because whe was 12 days early or a combination of both. [/QUOTE]
