[QUOTE="dun, post: 263783, member: 34"] I'm inclined to agree with BA. With those kinds of problems sitting just one generation back I've alwasy looked at it as a train wreck waiting to happen. Now before someone jumps on the "EPDs are a bunch of crap bandwagon", when you look back 3-5 generations and find no extremes, it's a pretty good bet that htey have some meaning. While interim and pedigree EPDs are pretty much just an average of the parents, rarely do they end up as an average. Generally they tend towards one side or the other. Maybe not as extreme, but still not close to an average either. If looked at on a bell curve, the higher the accuracy the more things will fall into the bell part, but there is still a good portion that is outside of the curve, probably aorund 20-30%. That's why even with .99 accuracy you will still get those surprises occasionally. dun [/QUOTE]
