[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 697510, member: 7509"] George, I trust there is some logic to what you are saying, even if I don't understand it. However Scrotal Circumference is Scrotal Circumference. It doesn't require years of experience, just a tape measure. And I would think that SC is one thing there might be agreement here on that SC size is important and an indicator of fertility and time to maturity of his offspring.... This bull either has SC or he doesn't. As the EPD shows him in the BOTTOM 10% OF THE BREED I think I'd get out a tape measure and see. Are you telling me that for some reason this bull will have much higher SC than the EPD predicts? If so I would think it would be very useful to get out a tape measure and see. Jerry Huth and my limited experience has me convinced SC is very important. Rereading above, if the pedigree behind this bull is so old that numbers are meaningless then why have him in the EPD pool affecting the data on others? Jim [/QUOTE]
