[QUOTE="cbcr, post: 1549698, member: 16303"] The thing with genomic testing and EPD's they are tools, but it seems that too many put too much emphasis on them and then wonder why their herd is not progressing genetically. We have seen with dairy bulls that were tested using GeneSeek/Neogens Basic test, the USDA Prime test and then having a proof when their daughters came into production. Looking at the results between the two genomic tests, neither one was better than the other, they both were about 50/50. The difference between these 2 tests is that the Basic test is based on the animals own DNA with no influence on the outcome from the parents. The USDA Prime test includes information from the parents (if known). When the bulls finally had enough daughters for a proof and comparing them between the two test about half of them were closer to their genomic Basic test result, the other half was closer to the USDA Prime test. Their has been breeders that have been trying to breed the next superstar of the dairy world and some of them are doing so with genomic tested animal. Many breeder thought they hit a home run until the bull came out with a proof and the animals they thought would be so valuable ended up just being another milk cow and are now being used as recips.
