[QUOTE="dun, post: 82467, member: 34"] That's one of the reasons that I think the stayability and heifer pregnancy EPDs from the Red Angus Assoc. has a lot of merit, and the maintenance engery EPD to a lesser degree. I believe I read that the Simmenthal people are also coming out with a stayability EPD. But all of the EPDs in the word won;t take the place of the other tools and the most important one of all, the eye of the herdsman. Many, many years ago when I was repairing all sorts of diverse equipment, I was taught that the single most important part of repairing anything is "visual observation of the unit". Applys to equipment, cows and for that matter people. My old mentor alwasy stressed the way a cow was put together as being the single most important part in selection. dun [/QUOTE]
