[QUOTE="SEC, post: 252522, member: 3241"] If you think that a contemporary group of 10 will change the numbers that bad you are nuts. The numbers can be fudged but overtime they will sort out secondly, it takes a lot of thought and a smart person to manage a set of paper cattle to make this work. All you need is 9 calves that will weigh less than the bull you are wanting to propagate and then you will achieve your goal. How many people do you in a normal scenario keep a bunch of cows around that raise dink calves just to help their rising star? I doubt very many at all. EPD's are like this. If you and I were in a race and you were supposed to win the race and you do so, then that was what is supposed to happen. If I beat you in the race and wasn't the favorite then my numbers will improve. I may question EPD's some days but I don't worry about someone who has great numbers and think that they are a crook if they do. [/QUOTE]
