[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 741112, member: 13"] The Angus Assn now has a Docility EPD (Disposition), the NALF has had that EPD for years. The Angus Assn has a Heifer Pregnancy EPD. Most breeds have a calving ease EPD and a milk EPD. "Optimum" milk will depend on your operation. Red Angus has a Longevity EPD. The Angus Assn has a "Cow Energy Value ($EN) " EPD that expresses differences in cow energy requirements (efficiency). So I'd respectfully disagree with you that measuring these traits are being neglected. They're hard to measure because many of them are strongly related to management. [/QUOTE]
