[QUOTE="OK Jeanne, post: 436263, member: 3333"] MGIA members can use any bull presently registered with MGIA, AMGA, the Australian Society and the New Zealand group---all are welcome in our registry. Any of our members that want to pay for the EPD system can do so through the AMGA system----it just costs quite a lot to do that. Personally, we don't think we have ever lost a sale of a bull or heifer because we did not have EPD numbers on the animal-----but then we generally sell to people interested in producing beef, not those participating in the feedlot system of production. If any of our animals are not top breeding quality, then they are converted to beef----and EPDs are not needed for that either. We felt our money was best spent on gene testing. As they say YMMV(your mileage may vary!!!) :D [/QUOTE]
