[QUOTE="Alan, post: 359362, member: 378"] I have found that adding the 2 parents and dividing by 2 doesn't work that often. Seems like by the time I get the current EPD's back from the association they are off as much as 2 to 4 numbers. It's close enough to guess but a long way from accurate. Not sure as to why the big difference, but one thought is that the sires and dams EPD's a ever changing. Or that in different EPD categories it not a 50/50 split, meaning, the dam or sire may have more enfluence in a certain area.... just a guess. Alan [/QUOTE]
