[QUOTE="Stickney94, post: 1589727, member: 37941"] Perhaps Angus.org has a back history chart of EPD values but my memory seems to think that HD had a pretty poor $EN 3-4 years ago. Definitely -$ and I think well below average. Lately it's been positive +$ and about breed average. Not to get into a debate into how the EPD is calculated, but more of a reminder that the data has its limitations and can shift over time. The HP EPD is one that I'd agree with from my own experience and can see why that EPD is lower. I will say that perhaps the HP is a result of HD's calves growth. I've come to wonder if our HD heifers were simply over conditioned when we were trying to breed them. The HD heifers I have had settle are great cows. My oldest are 6 years old. I'm also using HD again this year heavily. [/QUOTE]
