[QUOTE="txag, post: 41726, member: 8"] if we only sold bulls and females to commercial cattleman, we might have considered not participating. because we sell to other registered breeders, epd's are an important part of our marketing & breeding program. right or wrong, trying to sell an animal in a production or consignment sale without epd's can cost you some valuable dollars. keep in mind....i'm still not defending TPR.......just stating how it came about. if i remember right, the decision to go to TPR was made by the board of directors. just like some of the laws passed by our elected officials, we may not agree with them, but we did elect them & we live with their decisions. it wasn't just a decision made by the folks in Kansas City, but by the directors who hopefully took in a majority of the breeders' opinions. yes, the big breeders probably had more input & emphasis but it's always that way. any time we vote, the votes are weighted by the number of calves you register (kind of like the electoral college).
