[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 354091, member: 13"] It'll be like all the other EPS, based on contemporary groups. If you don't feed enough, the heifers that cycle earlier will be more fertile or if you feed a lot, there will be earlier cycling heifers. Management shouldn't play into it. From the link: "Figure 4 provides an example of the use of heifer pregnancy EPDs. Assume there are 100 daughters for each of the two bulls, managed and treated alike in the same breeding environment. When comparing the two bulls, one would expect an average of 5 more pregnant daughters out of 100 from Bull A compared with Bull B. Essentially Bull A's daughters have a 5% greater chance of becoming pregnant than Bull B's daughters." [/QUOTE]
