[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 690173, member: 7645"] Since we are all one happy Hereford Hemisphere and we know (from the Hereford World) that a stayability EPD is coming and since we are sharing EPD data with the Canadians I suspect that the AHA EPD (at least in it's first gyration) is going to be pretty much what the Canadians now have. Use the Canadian data for (at least) the popular AI sires. The problem with using the Hereford data to estimate stayability like you suggest is that most people today periodically hold either these fancy production sales or mature cow herd dispersals so most registered mama cows end their careers as commercial cows rearing black baldies, buckskin charolais, or F1 tiger stripes. Just because a reg. cow only has five records in the database does not mean that she died or got culled. [/QUOTE]
