[QUOTE="Cattleman200, post: 447050, member: 951"] Many posts on this topic in the past. Some people think its important. Others think any breed that needs a docility EPD has big problems. In most cases its the Limousin breed that gets hammered for this trait. I have always said that other breeds could benefit from using a docility EPD. Well guess what? I just took this off of the AAA website. [b]Submit data now for Angus Docility EPDs - The initial research release of sire docility EPDs is planned to follow the Association's deadline for submitting performance data on November 9, 2007. Breeders must submit their yearling temperament scores by the November 9th deadline in order to be included in the docility genetic evaluation. For questions, contact the Performance Programs Department at 816-383-5100.[/b] Anyone surprised? It appears that the breed leader in the industry feels the need for this EPD also. I believe others will follow or I think they should. Just as the Limousin breed has worked and used this important tool it will now help other breeds weed out wild and crazy animals.
