[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1000657, member: 14661"] On the dairy side of things we consider a genomic proof/epd to be the equivilant of ten progeny on the ground. It is nowhere near the kind of reliability that progeny proven provides but it's an early indicator. A few of the studs jumped on it early and charged a bunch of money to their customers for up and coming bulls (the genetics of tommorrow are the embroys that aren't even born yet) that were not progeny proven and are now backpedaling and trying desperatly to keep business because about half of the bulls they were selling didn't match up to the price they were selling them for.
