[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1205952, member: 9096"] That's right, but if you have low birthweights you can survive declining MCE... But how are EPDs going to be calculated? MCE is probably going to look good on a herd of cows that routinely have tiny calves because absolutely none of them need assistance.. There's no way to accurately say what the MCE would be if they were bred to something that would challenge their ability. If you have a test of strength for people lifting a 25lb weight 10 times, 99.99% of them can do it.. Perhaps 99% of them can do 100 lbs, but unless you actually make them do it, you're only speculating. [/QUOTE]
