[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 784720, member: 1683"] cow pollinator- Your question here - - ["why don't we just judge all beef cattle breeds on the same scale so that the buyer knows excatly what they're buying"] - - has viable merit! My only caveat would be the immediate censure ensuing from breeders of most breeds - by virtue of comparisons between Apples and Oranges - or even Nectarines and Peaches! The imperative need for "[i]individuality[/i] in "their" particular breed would set off a 'firestorm' of additional traits and characteristics to be found in their breed ONLY, and we would be "off to the races again" in competition mode! A - "MY-cow-is-better-than-YOUR-cow" chip on the shoulder attitude. Nevertheless, I am certainly of the opinion that all of the emphasis on the use of EPD's, DNA markers, and Molecular Value Predictions (MVP's) could and should be simplified exponentially to make seedstock selection more easily accomplished, along with with the inclusion of visual evaluation for Phenotype characteristics for the breeder of average-sized cattle herds.
