[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1685716, member: 16453"] Yes especially if not much data has been recorded. It is very easy to get great unproven EPD's by breeding to numbers and not recording data. In Australia we don't get to actually see the genomic results, Angus Australia controls it all and it goes straight into the bi monthly EBV calculations. I often have my suspicions that they might edit the results a bit so they don't look like goose's when their EBV's are proven incorrect. To find out the effect that genomics have on my heifer's EBV's I print out their EBV's at time of collection of hair and compare to the breedplan run when the results are in. There is never any massive change just a bit of tweaking which fuels my suspicions. Ken [/QUOTE]
