[QUOTE="Herefords.US, post: 744719, member: 3972"] There may be some Angus cows out there whose EPDs cross that .6 accuracy threshold. But there are Hereford donor cows with 50 progeny or more who don't. And I'll wager it is the same for any other breed - with the possible exception of Angus. EPDs on cows (and unproven bulls) are very little more than speculation and your odds of their being right are much worse than what you'd get on the gaming tables at the casino. The only thing they are really good for is to "sell" her progeny off to someone who's been misinformed that they actually mean something and have some reliability. George [/QUOTE]
