[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 784650, member: 14661"] Hmmm... Since we're going to look at dna markers pooled from accross breeds, why can't we just make our current EPD system reflect all breeds together as well? If the entire point of both epds and genomics is to identify outstanding genetics, why don't we just judge all beef cattle breeds on the same scale so that the buyer knows excatly what they're buying... The point of seedstock production is to produce genetics for the commercial cattleman. How about if we offer numbers that tell the customer how well our genetics perform against all other cattle and not just among cattle of the same breed? That should work really well... unless you have Herefords :lol2: [/QUOTE]
