[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1213917, member: 18809"] Yet you are wrong. Here is her registration link: [url=https://herdbook.org/simmapp/action/animalSearch.AnimalSearchAction?eventSubmit_displayAnimal=T&animalNumber=2894560]https://herdbook.org/simmapp/action/ani ... er=2894560[/url] All I had to do was a quick search of her tattoo number, the ASA herd book is a wonderful tool to search all kinds of information on breeders and animals alike. Looks pretty good EPD wise, but I have seen both these heifers in person and they are better than they were pictured. We saw them unclipped and in their natural state. They are NOT show heifers, but the guy who raises them does not claim to raise show cattle. They have not been fed hard. We have seen his weaning weights and paycheck from the sale barn on his calves sold at the barn in December. They are made genetically easy going, as evidence of the rest of the cows at that place. The proof is not in the EPD, but the ACTUAL weight those calves weighed when they walked across the scale at 30 days post weaning. EPDs are a tool we use in our tool box, and I'll take what I see as more proof than a number on a sheet of paper. Mr. Davis, your quick attack on other breeders yet touting you have the "top EPD" cattle does not bode well with others. I did a quick search last night on the database of the ASA, and there are red cattle that are percentage and purebred that have a higher API than your girl you pointed out. Go ahead and get on your soap box of rightessness, but I bet you are turning more people off your from buying your genetics than driving customers into your facility. [/QUOTE]
