[QUOTE="ollie', post: 295959, member: 2432"] Is Tm nothing more than simple addition of ww and milk ? edit: What is a total maternal EPD? Neither the direct nor maternal EPD predicts entirely the performance of offspring of an individual’s daughters since that performance will be a function of both direct and maternal effects. A third EPD, the total maternal EPD, combines direct and maternal predictions. For weaning weight, the total maternal EPD predicts the relative performance of progeny daughters of an individual, taking into account both the inherent growth of those calves and the milking ability of their dams.
