[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1586389, member: 24565"] Angle. It influences/exacerbates claw defects especially on the rear. On the front the real claw problems will not need a booster. Odd thing on the AAA EPD: if a bull has 0.5 he is breed average. If he is 0.00 he is expected to change (improve) the scores on his offspring by -0.05. A move in the right direction but not a complete overhaul in one effort. I tend to believe that the hoof score will miss the Angus that will founder later in life due to a genetic predisposition to founder. That issue also exists as a reality. [/QUOTE]
