[QUOTE="Aero, post: 154401, member: 2076"] for the AAA that baseline is the 1973 (i think) breed average. if this is what you want to compare against that is fine... but it's a poor representation. i would concede that they are very generic, but "environment independent" might be a stretch. nobody in their right mind would expect a top 1% WW, YW, Milk Angus cow to produce anything worth keeping in desert range conditions even though the numbers tell you they should be best if you just look at the EPD definitions. the problem is that all factors are not equal.
