[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 707217, member: 7645"] I think that is precisely [b]WHY[/b] AHA does not have a $EN or maintenance energy EPD. A lot of those multi trait leading sires would suddenly have a "flaw" if it got out that their mama and typical daughters were 1700 pounders. No $EN, no mature weight, no mature height EPDs, and if Angus adds feed efficiency, fertility, and temperment EPDs the Hereford data set will really seem paltry by comparison. On another note, I looked up a popular bull to see if Angus had added an EPD I was unaware of and was shocked to see Bon View New Design 878 now has 12,938 daughters data in the registry. Incredible. That bull has more daughters than 40+++ breeds have total cows. [/QUOTE]
