[QUOTE="AllForage, post: 990958, member: 14878"] 3way, I am curious as why you see the need for epd's with these cattle? Based on not knowing much about them except their claim to being a closed herd since ?. If one was looking into a closed population, wouldn't knowing the breeders consistent long term selection pressure coupled with real world data be enough? Then understanding the breeder's climate and forage base in order to translate that info into what the buyer's resources are be enough? Given that they are line bred and raised under a arid environment, it will take time and additional years of selection to bring them up to pace in a more lush place for example. I want to know what these cattle actually do and not what numbers propose they do. [/QUOTE]
