[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 770913, member: 7509"] If this is true - about IMF being an individual animal thing - isn't this a reason to pay more attention to the IMF EPD? This is not something that can be seen by the looks of a bull but can be easily measured with an ultrasound if I understand correctly. under my bull's AHA EPD's there is a line that says "traits observed" which I assume were actually measured rather than predicted. In this list is FAT, REA, and IMF which I assume are ultrasound measurements. With the harvest of his first steers this spring, the REA and IMF numbers seem to be accurate for his offspring also. As far as accuracy, what better accuracy can you get than a direct measurement? Jim [/QUOTE]
