[QUOTE="True Grit Farms, post: 1449347, member: 24694"] That opionion sure covers a lot, and there's more speculation than facts. Genomic testing can and does backup EPD's, and sometimes it disputes them. The more tools you have in your box the better the chance that you can get the job done. The AAA is the best cattle organization in the beef business. You can never catch the leader when your following behind them. How many breeders can tell you what to expect from a specific mating and be very close the majority of the time? A good Angus breeder and a good Hereford breeder can the majority of the time. Nothing is perfect and results can very, but breeding cattle using EPD's and DNA beats the heck out of guessing. A black Angus cow bred to a black Angus bull will have a black calf. That's a fact and not a opionion. Another fact is that before ANGUS cattle influenced the US beef herd, US beef wasn't any better than imported beef on adverage. Australia has proven this again, and stepped up it's beef herd, supplying the world market with good quality beef, how did they do it? ANGUS [/QUOTE]
