[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 526131, member: 4353"] That is one of the reasons why EPD's alone won't do the trick. If you use EPDs in combination with visial traits you'll have a much more accurate way of determining if the animal will mature into a too tall animal for your program. The cannon bone give a very good indication if the animal is early or later maturing and how tall the animal will mature to be. A long cannon bone indicates a taller later maturing animal, a shorter cannon bone a shorter earlier maturing animal. If you really start looking at this you'll soon get the hang of it and have a much better idea of expected mature size. [/QUOTE]
