[QUOTE="sim.-ang.king, post: 1224152, member: 14533"] What you should really be looking at on EPD's is how accurate they are. If a bull had a -5 BW, with 12% acc. there is no telling what the birth weight is going to be without a real world weight. But on the other hand if a bull has a +2 BW, and 55% acc. you can put a little more faith in the EPD's, because they have some real world numbers to back them up. If a bull has low acc. put more on the real world numbers, if high acc. you can judge more with the EPD's, but don't ever over look real world numbers...frankly because they're real....... [/QUOTE]
