[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1658323, member: 12520"] Maybe I misunderstood the initial question. I did not see where the calves had different birth weights. Everyone knows genes can express themselves differently and not every full sibling will be the same. The question was why would they have different epd's? In my mind they would all have the same odds of expressing any given trait. But as I said above I don't know much about epd's. Aren't the initial epd numbers for a calf determined by using formulae using only the epd's of the dam and sire? [/QUOTE]
