[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 1384826, member: 3162"] My understanding was that EPDs were living documentation. They were to be updated based on actual results versus expectations. You can find two year old ads for a bull and see that the EPDs have not changed. So you are essentially using a bad tool. We have legislated ourselves into a corner. I'd prefer to buy a healthy disease free bull with known results versus a "certified virgin" bull. I have also had experiences with neighbor's bulls jumping fences into my pastures so I question the entire pure bred programs entirely. Where did those horns come from? :-) LOL [/QUOTE]
