[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 295247, member: 1683"] As has been mentioned and discussed in the past, large contemporary grouping is necessary when providing accurate performance records and for establishing accuracies. One calf - whatever its statistics happen to be - won't influence a cow's (or bull's) EPD's for any trait significantly. The more calves to provide statistics, the more accurate the results will be. One thousand calves produced over the life span of a bull provides a pretty good picture of his breeding abilities. One calf - doesn't mean squat-doodly! DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
