[QUOTE="alexfarms, post: 627518, member: 8677"] Yes, Frank Felton was a very successfull purebred producer and he definately knew how to build epds. He also had some good cattle that he had put together. Remeber his old Feltons 324 bull, how he had such a low bw epd, until he got widely used in several herds, then the bw epd shot way up. By sending in your heifers calves as a separate contemporary, all you are really doing is saying you don't agree with the way the AHA is adjusting the first calf heifers calves weights. I don't see how anyone can say there is anything wrong with that. I have had people tell me both ways, that they think too much weight is added in the adjustment or too little weight is added in the adjustment. Everytime there is an adjustment there is a potential for adding error into the genetic analysis. john [/QUOTE]
