[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 641489, member: 4353"] The biggest flaw in the system lies in the application and because people forgot why the system was developed. The system was developed to give an indication of what can be expected from the animal, the system wasn't designed to tell which animal is best as its widely perceived now. My words exactly.... AND start giving them the product they want instead of chasing numbers while they are neglected the real issues that is losing marketshare for the breed. The hereford breed has been chasing performance to try and match the Continentals since the late 1960's, growth has improved drastically, the EPDs today are alot better than those of 20 years ago and yet the breed is losing marketshare, while the handfull of breeders breeding "old style" herefords' bull pens are sold out. All that being said I think the breed as a whole is much better than 10 years ago, but we are a long ways from regaining the traditional strengths of the breed. [/QUOTE]
