[QUOTE="novaman, post: 746873, member: 2744"] Is there a reason they don't update the baselines that the EPD's are put against? I'm not as familiar with how the beef EPD's are calculated but on the dairy side, they update the baseline every 5 years. For instance, in January this year they updated the baselines to the average females born in the 2005 calendar year. In January 2015 they will again update the baselines to the average females being born THIS calendar year. This system gives a better idea on the progression being made and results in numbers that are more meaningful for the current timeframe. [/QUOTE]
