[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 295333, member: 13"] When the Angus Assn started EPDs, they took all the BWs reported to the Assn in a particular year (I think 1976), averaged them and called that 0. They did the same with WW and YW. I can't speak for any other breed, but Angus EPDs are, indeed set on actual weights and measures. A lot has happened since EPDs were first created, lots of research and millions of data reports, but EPDs are still a good tool for evaluating breeding stock. [/QUOTE]
