[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 21564, member: 13"] The Beef Improvement Federation (BIF) recommends a minimum yearling scrotal of at least 30 cm. in a breeding bull. EPDs are based on more than just this individual bull's performance; they take into consideration measurements submitted on his relatives. The more info available, the more accurate his EPDs will be. Scrotal size can be affected by how he was developed, too. If he had been fed well, he might have a larger scrotal. Or not. Do you think his scrotal measurement has been reported to the Hereford Assn? If not, and you report it, his EPD might drop to breed average or less. [/QUOTE]
