I have been asking Lisa to do it for a few years. On another topic; BW EPD's: I know of two flushmate bulls that have totally varying BW EPD's. One has a 5.6 and one has a 1.2, with a reasonable degree of accuracy. The breed average is 1.3 . Would this wildly fluctuating phenomenon be known without EPD's? [/QUOTE]
