[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1356518, member: 24816"] I don't know much about the system, but EPD's can and do change with the increase in accuracies. Have seen some bulls touted as calving ease early on only to watch the EPD's drop dramatically. I will say that it does cause some concern for me to see some young bulls come out with EPD's that don't really seem consistent with their pedigree, or also when an individual bull has a combination of a very high CED, and low BW along with extremely high WW, and YW. In those cases the numbers seem to change over time too, just not sure what causes them to start out so high. I have found that with the very few head that I register, the EPD's are usually very average over all, and even with genomic enhanced EPD's there isn't much change, usually if there is with mine it is in the area of CED, and BW.
