[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1326290, member: 14585"] Accuracy on carcass traits are so low before a sire is 8-10 yrs old that when it comes to sire selection I end up looking at $ indexes more than individual carcass traits. I look at REA but it hasn't been a strong influence on final decision. In example War Party a heavily used A.I. sire turns 9 this year. bw acc .95 but rea acc .64 7an380 Endurance just turned 4 in February and already......... bw acc .75 but rea acc .38 personally i figure .70 acc or higher to consider a sire proven [/QUOTE]
