[QUOTE="mtnman, post: 80107, member: 836"] Accuracies and heritability have nothing to do with each other. Heritability is a measure of how much of the phenotypic variation in a population is able to be transmitted via genetics to the offspring. Accuracy is a measure of how well the EPD of an animal relates to it's true unmeasurable breeding value, taken in an alternative definition, it relates to how much we would expect the EPD to chagne in the future as more offspring are reported. This change is from the animals EPD to it's "true" or unmeasurable breeding value. No, I certainly do not know everything, but I have been exposed to a bit of the science. mtnman None of the Ultrasound work from the Jacob Alliance is published. If you are really interested, call Koohmarie at MARC, rather than try to find out the "truth" on the internet. [/QUOTE]
