[QUOTE="Aero, post: 594372, member: 2076"] Earl: Acc is pretty simple. it only comes from 3 places: 1) parental EPDs, 2) individual performance, 3) progeny perofrmance. when a calf is first registered w/ AAA, if the parents have better than .05 for Acc of a particular EPD, the parents EPDs will be averaged. this carries little weight but is just meant to be a guess. as you turn in performance records (BW, WW, etc) the animals own performance will increase the Acc (usually up to about .30) for the measurement turned in. when this particular animal has offspring, the same measurements of offspring will take the Acc up even further. Acc has nothing to do with how new anything is; it's just a number representing how much performance information has been gathered. [/QUOTE]
