[QUOTE="3waycross, post: 744731, member: 6713"] I'll use my numbers and you can use yours. Don't forget garbage in garbage out. As usual Aero you believe you are the last word on [b]EVERYTHING[/b] Improved Across Breed conversions The new MBE methodology allowed AGA to compare EPD differences among Gelbvieh animals, Angus animals and Red Angus animals within the analysis. Historically, the AGA and the beef industry was forced to rely on data from the Meat Animal Research Center (MARC) in order to convert EPDs from Gelbvieh to either Angus or Red Angus or vice versa. While the MARC data was the best information available at the time, the data was developed using very small sample sizes at a single location The AGA across breed conversions were developed using literally thousands of high accuracy Angus and Red Angus sires compared against tens of thousands of Gelbvieh sires in hundreds of contemporary groups across the entire United States. We recommend that you use the following across breed conversion table when converting Gelbvieh EPDs to Angus or Red Angus equivalents: :wave: [/QUOTE]
