[QUOTE="HerefordSire, post: 641331, member: 4437"] [i]Brandonm22....so in this specific ET flushmate bull example, the EPD numbers of the most recent sires of each generation on the maternal side (paternal side is constant), most certainly explain the reason why they vary as much in the intial years (more emphasis is placed on the most recent materal grandsire). Without looking at the BW EPD numbers, we can estimate for say five generations of bull EPDs on the maternal side, and justify the wide variance in EPD BD of the three ET calves. For example, Easy Deal ET has a 1.0 BW EPD as the result of his calves birthweight percentage, and then to a lesser extent, the most recent maternal sire BW EPD numbers and ratios, etc.[/i] [/QUOTE]
