[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 140149, member: 1683"] ollie' - YOU ARE CORRECT! Stay tuned. I'll be back later. DOC HARRIS I'm back - 8 hours later! You are right about cattle (or any other species) breeding as a result of " - - genetic selection" being a "powerful tool", - and EPD's are the 'nuts and bolts" of that genetic tool! How those nuts and bolts are put together and 'torqued' determines how the 'machine', if you will, ultimately functions and performs. Selecting breeding stock by phenotype [b][u]ONLY[/u][/b] will possibly take 25 -40 years, - and by incorporating EPD's it can be accomplished in 6 generations or less. As "they" say - do the math! Phenotype IS the embodiment of EPD's - good or bad, correctly applied or mis-used - -THERE they are, in ALL their glory, standing naked to the world! DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
