[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 108233, member: 1604"] I wouldn't put too much faith in the MARC data. After looking at the data and checking with some breed reps I found out that the semen used in this study was picked by the different Breed Assoc's using different methods. One breed that furnished semen for the test chose the top ten bulls in the breed for sales. While another breed chose bulls that had the highest WW & YW EPD's. Another chose semen for the best carcass data. I agree that it is a good rule of thumb study, but not the most accurate predictor of an "Overall" breed. [/QUOTE]
