[QUOTE="la4angus, post: 20881, member: 132"] Ellie Mae The EPD's takes into account several generations of ancestry. There are mathematical calculations to calculate the EPD's for several generations which should give you an idea of what to expect for differences in birth wt., weaning wt., yearling wt., milk production, scrotal size, back fat, rib eye measurement,% retail product, marbling, etc. in comparison to using another bull on the same cow. EPD means expected progeny difference. Go to [url=http://angus.org]http://angus.org[/url] or [url=http://hereford.org]http://hereford.org[/url] and look up and study the EPD info. given there. I think that will give you a better understanding of what we are talking about. Several on this site can help answer most questions that you may have. This should be better than eyeballing an animal.
