[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 534503, member: 7645"] That wouldn't explain the frame creep on the purebred end though. I BELIEVE in the value of EPDs to tell me more about the cattle; but a lot of people are simply ranking bulls by their growth EPDs and THAT has a lot to do with the fact that frame is creeping up. In the last round of the MARC the Angus cows were bigger than the Gelbvieh and Simmental cows. Between the obsession with EPDs and just farmers keeping back their heaviest weaning weight heifers frame creep is probably inevitable in a commercial herd unless action is taken too avoid falling into this trap.
