[QUOTE="tnwalkingred, post: 1189489, member: 14434"] Cow Pollinator, Can you please explain to me why you think he is a one hit wonder? I can understand the argument about his accuracies being low because he has either not had many calves bred to him or there have been few people who have tuned in data on calves that were sired by him but I don't understand how you could say he is a one hit wonder? I did a search on all bulls born between 2010-2012 with a YW EPD of 100+ and to be honest very few of them had accuracies much better than Tour of Duty. To me this tells me that his accuracy numbers are about average but his growth EPDs are way above average. If his CE and BW accuracies stay anywhere close to where they are now then he is a no brainer to use in my humble opinion. Unless a person disputes the validity of the Angus EPDS or the average accuracy of bulls his same age I find it hard to believe how anyone could disagree that he may be one of the very best growth bulls in the business with a good CE and BW to go along with it.
