[QUOTE="Prairiegrass, post: 1578129, member: 15700"] I never know how much value to place in some of the maternal EPDs such as HP, Stay, PG30, etc. the various breed associations use. I have assumed as long as the accuracy is there they should be good, but maybe I'm wrong. For example, I have never used Mytty in Focus for retaining heifers due to his low and continuously dropping HP, but he's been pushed for a long time as a cow maker. What did other people know that I didn't, and did I make a mistake? I used TC Total 410 and quit as his HP dropped, and I have to say in my herd those daughters did drop out due to fertility issues. For Stay, daughters need to hang around at least 6 years to collect data and it's tough to get accuracy in the smaller herd associations. So, just another tool for us to interpret - I guess that's what keeps things interesting. Thanks for your comments and impressions of Blazin Hot. I'll take a good look at him. [/QUOTE]
