[QUOTE="txag, post: 255035, member: 8"] typically an animal's epd's can be predicted by averaging the parents' epd's. this will give you a pretty good estimate. on the other hand, if the epd's are calculated after the animal in question has performance data (for example, most animals have birth weight information submitted when registering), and the performance data is skewed to one side or the other (really high birthweight which wasn't predicted by the epd's), the epd can also be shifted from just an average.
