[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 627931, member: 13"] No, Fallacy #1 is to think that [b]you[/b] know what "everyone" else forgets. Every generation of data put into the EPD data base makes that raw data on young bulls more accurate. Gurus at major universities, breed associations, etc., all tell us that EPDs are the most reliable way to judge an animal's breeding ability compared to another animal of the same breed. Period. Even the breed that used to call them "computerized bologna" now has EPDs. They're not magic or foolproof. Some people may not even know what EPD stands for, but the cattlemen I see buying bulls seem to put a lot of faith in them. [/QUOTE]
