[QUOTE="HerefordSire, post: 641260, member: 4437"] [i]I think the question that should be answered, more sooner than later, is the definition of "substandard with a great set of EPDs" which is relative. The great EPDs may mean, even though a specific calf is a runt, for example, there is a higher mathematical probability that future generations coming out of a runt, will reverse such that a runt's offspring may not be a runt but the best calf in the herd. If this were not possible, then the EPD system is not to be used at all.[/i] [/QUOTE]
