[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 526077, member: 1682"] This is the best response so far IMHO. Look at your frame scores. There are a lot of Hereford (particularly Horned Hereford) bulls that have over a 100 YW EPD, but have a frame size of 6 or less. Lots of spine and growth potential horizontally will bring your YW EPD up a lot fast than vertical growth. If it was the other way around, there should be Polled Hereford bulls from the 80's that have a 200 YW EPD by todays standards. Like angus said, a lot of the YW EPD can be contributed to weight gain and muscle accumulation, something you don't get much of, very fast with a giraffe-built steer. [/QUOTE]
