[QUOTE="greenwillowherefords, post: 60447, member: 587"] I have a specific question for Frankie, Txag, Amazed, and any other die-hard EPD fans. I ask this honestly, and not with any intent to be a smart-aleck or unfriendly: If you were searching for a replacement heifer or bull, and you had a choice between an animal that looked better, had better performance, and at least as good carcass data, but lower EPDs, and an animal that had higher EPDs but nothing else was as good, which would you choose? Add to this equation that the lower EPD animal's siblings had consistently ratioed better in the herd than the higher EPD animal's siblings. As you know, it takes a lot of data to move EPDs, and this scenario is very possible; indeed, I have seen it. [/QUOTE]
