[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1334336, member: 24565"] I am not really talking about black 50%+ cattle that qualify for CAB but the registered, papered, big name and sired by big name Angus cows and bulls that have phenotypic faults such as the same mentioned: feet, legs, udders, teats and I would add disposition, poor top lines and other traits that EPDs do not cover and new tests do not either. One day DNA will walk the dog but right now it is cutting edge with only paper cuts. When DNA can predict the most fertile of females it will be worth the dough. think I was right, and will stand corrected, but the comparative data is most correct if the tested cattle are close kin to the cattle used to solidify the basis. If time hinders the person from starting in the cattle business then none of us would make progress because we are all short on time even if we have a herd to start. I would try to find someone close that does a good job to buy from if I wanted to start. Kinda lets you start midstream. [/QUOTE]
