[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 114450, member: 13"] icandoit, I'd be interested in the site this information was copied from? Will you post it? Thanks. But, these traits are not "compared to the breed average", they are compared to 0. IMO, you can and should compare them to breed average if you're not in a position to compare two animal's EPDs. EPD averages change with every sire summary, 0 stays the same, year after year. "Average" EPDs for Angus are BW 2.4 and YW 68. We've added 68 lbs of YW but only 2.4 lbs of BW since the base was set at 0. [/QUOTE]
