[QUOTE="whitecow, post: 641279, member: 8638"] One more examle as food for thought. I have 9 clones of a Charolais cow (M6 MS E46'S DUKE 248 PET). She has about 90 registered progeny. Her BW EPD is 2.9 with an acc of .52. The BW EPDs of the clones range from 0.6 to 5.9. Presumeably the differences in EPDs of the clones is based on their own birth weights which should be irrelevant. They all have exactly the same genetic potential as the original. Thoeretically, all of the clones and the original cow should have the same EPDs and all of their progeny data could be used together to improve the accuracy of the EPDs. [/QUOTE]
