[QUOTE="bigag03, post: 627014, member: 9247"] Incorrect contemporary groups are a major reason for the inaccuracy of EPDs. EPDs are supposed to be a comparison of how cattle from your herd perform against cattle from any other herd. By always segregating your inbred line from your outcross cattle, you are are creating a false sense of the performance of that line. The EPDs of the cattle in your inbred line are only valid within your herd and would be completely inaccurate for anyone else buying and breeding your cattle. [/QUOTE]
