[QUOTE="UG, post: 1107391, member: 714"] Though I believe EPDs are a good tool, they aren't perfect. I have had this discussion with some Fleckvieh breeders and they acknowledge that very few Fleck bulls have been truly tested against purebred Simmentals in the same herd in order to get contemporary data that can be used in the calculation of EPDs. So, most Flecks have only been compared to other Flecks, rather than purebred Simmental and SimAngus. So, I wouldn't put much weight in comparing EPDs of Flecks to other Simmentals, though I would use them to compare one Fleck to another Fleck. [/QUOTE]
