[QUOTE="leeshy, post: 471401, member: 7388"] I strongly agree with you. When you have nothing to go by . EPD's aare a very importent. Atleast by useing them it takes alot of the guesswork out. Over the years we have tried to put alot of value in what the mother was. In my opnion the more great mothers you can line up in a pedigree the less disapointed you will be in their offspring. I am so tired of feeding a heifer for two years and being so disapointed at calving time because they cant feed their own calf. I know their can be a thing as to much milk and cows won't hold their body condition and breed back. But it is far worse if they can't milk at all. I think we can all say diffrent invirements would require diffrent EPDS. A person in a desert with cattle walking miles to water verses a person with lush green irrigated grass would require diffrent set of EPD'S. We as hereford breeders are trying to make the best of both worlds. [/QUOTE]
