[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1329781, member: 17767"] Thanks for all the comments. It is during the recalibration process that a member with a registered animal can submit genomic data on their animal and the data is used to better support the EPD numbers. I don't have a command on how it works but as you infer they seem to be looking for genes in the genome of the subject that supports one of those traits reflected in the EPDs. If another user understands the process that the associations employ to enhance the EPDs by applying actual genomics data, please fill in the details. NO. I would not buy a bull with a compromised phenotype. For one reason, I service my small herd via AI. I do not employ ET at this time. The bull in the pictures came to me as an embryo calf in a heifer I purchased from Fire Sweep Simmentals. I am extremely happy with the purchase. I would avoid selling a bull that people I consult with tell me is not appropriate to use for breeding. [/QUOTE]
