[QUOTE="1848, post: 69485, member: 1303"] Some calves already have a percentage of accuracy along with their initial EPD values. This is carried over from having very accurate percentages from one or both parents, or previous animals in their line. Some calves initial EPD's will come with a "P" in the Percent accurate box. This means that these calves EPD's are only "Predicted" and they will have to build from nothing. The bulls that already have a percentage rating at birth do not have to have as many calves to get to .85%. It might only takes 150 calves. On the other hand, a bull that does not have an initial percentage (just a "P"), or has parents which don't have high accuracies, are not active (dead, etc.), and/or are contributing to to data themselves, may have to have over 300 or more calves.
