[QUOTE="jscunn, post: 354428, member: 1257"] Yep Angus breeders are the only ones who cheat and total herd reporting keeps those other breeders from cheating. :roll: Come on Dave I know you are not anywhere that naive. I bet none of the breeders have ever stepped on a scale or falsified any data to the associations with whole herd reporting. I know this is going to open a can of worms but... I will submit that in my opinion the Angus (Black) Association EPDs are more accurate even without whole herd reporting due to the sheer number of the data that they get versus only associations. And just because they dont require it doesnt mean that most herds don't report every calf. I know for the second year in a row I will be sending data in on calves in single contemporary groups. If not for the simple fact I want the weights in the database when I get ready to sell the female 2-5 years down the line. [/QUOTE]
