[QUOTE="RD-Sam, post: 627948, member: 7927"] I have to agree with Frankie, seperating cattle into groups to make them look good on their EPD's is not right, it defeats the whole purpose of the EPD. I have learned one thing about EPD's, they don't tell the whole story, you really need to see the actual data on a cow or bull and the ratios. EPD's are the first thing I look at, if they are not in line, there is no point in looking any further. If the EPD's are in line, and the bull or cow has correct phenotype, it's a good place to start. If you are new at cattle and don't know everything about the lines and who to trust, it's really the only way to buy cattle. :nod: [/QUOTE]
