[QUOTE="Texan, post: 44613, member: 416"] Willow, can you see from reading your own quotes how some of us might be a little concerned about the EPD numbers you guys toss around? You talk about how much milk she gave "on test twice out of the back 2 teats alone" and in the same statement brag about her milk EPD. I guess I'm wrong, but I consider the term "on test" to involve some more scientific methods with a little bit better controls. Then you admit that you milked her "once two days in a row" and use that to conclude that her EPD was "pretty accurate." That might lead some of us less knowledgable types to question the inputs used by you registered breeders to come up with [i]all[/i] EPD numbers! Are you that casual about the use of [i]scales[/i] for your BW, WW and YW numbers? Do you just try to get close? [/QUOTE]
