[QUOTE="Tod Dague, post: 295299, member: 61"] What about the ones that don't? Where did the model for epds come from? Did they get the commercial breeders to weigh every calf at birth, weaning, and yearling, heights, scrotum measurements, ultrasound data, and everything else involved to gather the information when EPDs were being developed? The last I herd it wasn't some simple calculation, is subject to modification as new information comes in from ongoing research, and the models look a great deal different then the originals. The point was that the verification is coming from the ongoing research that is being done by the universities. [/QUOTE]
