[QUOTE="WORANCH, post: 231050, member: 21"] This is from the Angus web site. ET calves out of commercial recipient dams receive only a pedigree-estimated interim EPD with a 0.05 accuracy, since the EPD is just the average of the sire EPD and the donor dam EPD. If the donor dam has interims, the ET calf will have no EPD. (The donor dam would need to have a natural calf with performance data submitted in a proper group, and then she would have true EPDs generated during the next NCE.) [/QUOTE]
