[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 640738, member: 7645"] IF you have 300++ head of collected data on the sire and 300++ head of collected data on the Maternal Grandsire I would argue that having really really accurate data on the dam herself isn't all that important and certainly is not a flaw in the system. Too much emphasis is put on cows. The males in the pedigree is where you can put the greatest selection pressure and where you can achieve the greatest predictability. IF you use only proven sires (80% accuracy or greater) and do that over and over and over again you are going to build more and more accuracy into the system even if you don't have many cows with 8 or more natural progeny in the herd.
