[QUOTE="txag, post: 60485, member: 8"] well, since you threw my name in the question, i'll answer, even though i'm not a "die-hard EPD" fan. i answer the EPD questions to raise awareness and to help people UNDERSTAND them. you can't use them if you don't understand them. anyone in the registered or seedstock business should at least understand them even if they don't believe in them or want to use them. anyway, to answer your question, you still haven't given enough information. how much "lower" are the epd's? how much "better" was the performance? how much "better" does the other animal look? what are their pedigrees? are they contemporaries? were they raised the same way (feed, management)? without knowing all this, i'd have to agree with Tod & dun & say neither because i'll repeat myself here......epd's are just a [i]tool[/i] to be used along with all other purchasing/breeding decisions. you have to look at the total package.
