[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1809469, member: 968"] The science behind the EPD's is good. I think there are too many huge breeders that have the ability to sway the numbers by how they report their offspring. I don't think the inaccuracies in the numbers are as much of a problem as breeders are convinced the NUMBERS are the most important thing when picking bulls. They literally looking at books and records and NOT LOOKING at the offspring.....or their COWS to see what phenotype bull needed to correct any phenotype problems the cow has. No cow is perfect. There is always something she needs changed to make a more perfect calf. Her NUMBERS is not as important as her PHENOTYPE. [/QUOTE]
