[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1545252, member: 27490"] No. That could make a difference. I have avoided using bulls with high EPDs for BW and CE. The high CE and BW metrics give up a lot in performance for the low birth weights and calving ease. My point is more direct. I get the same Gestation average using the sires with high EPD metrics for CE and BW as I do with bulls that have moderate EPDs for CE and BW. I would caution you to make sure you have enough data to draw the conclusions you might. Not saying you are but something like this takes a threshold level of data in order to draw conclusions. It is why researchers have to take a lot of statistics in the course of their studies. [/QUOTE]
