[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 60262, member: 13"] I'm not bothered by other breeds making Angus the standard. With the numbers of Angus out there, they should be pointed to as the standard. I'm bothered by what I see as manipulating the numbers to make a breed's EPDs look better. A lot of breeders (not just Angus breeders) spend their time and money reporting data to make their breed's EPDs as accurate as possible. IMO, this undermines the entire EPD system, though I doubt it will make a lot of difference in the long run. People who have learned to use EPDs will likely continue to do so; those that are looking for another excuse to poo poo them, will do so. [/QUOTE]
