[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 662713, member: 4353"] Jim, I'm sure all of us nay-sayers when it comes to the reliability of unproven bull's EPDs has been burnt by putting too much faith in EPDs in the past at some point. We didn't just decide out of ignorance or a fear of change that we shall choose to ignore them, in most cases we still use EPDs, just not with the same innocent believe in them we had in the past. It still is a usefull tool, you just need to use it wisely and do more legwork and dive deeper back into the past to get the full picture. My advise is for future bull purchases in your situation where you aren't always around during calving season is to stick with a long time reputable breeder and and let him choose a calving ease sire for you instead of thinking EPDs will be the solution in every single case.
