[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 527930, member: 4353"] The biggest difficulty in performance testing and recording is that you need to have a measureable trait that you can accurately measure and quantify to use in the matrix to calculate EPDs. REA is although still not easy to measure more measureable or quantifyable than the muscle on the butt. Academics need accurate numbers to develope into EPDs to get their Phd degrees, that is why no-one ever attempted to write a thesis on visual traits and peasant wisdom. In the end it all boils down to using all the tools in the box, including those that are more subjective and that you can only see with your eyes and measure with experience. If you select for a strong loin in combination with visible mucle on the butt you will effectively select for a large REA and big muscular butts. [/QUOTE]
