[QUOTE="Nkline, post: 1671243, member: 41001"] Good questions, I’m familiar with the area. I have farms in NW Minnesota and spend some time around there. I have watched sales and fed out cattle from there too. While little data is turned in on the dmi epd, most of the data is coming from unbiased sources, and well structured tests. Dmi has not been largely selected for in the past, so improvement should be easy and fast. Genomics is getting better every year, the formula figures in selection pressure per trait which is really a guess. I think this inflates newer growth epds more than it protects older ones. [/QUOTE]
