[QUOTE="cotton1, post: 1191619, member: 14689"] Those links were good, thanks. I am pretty sure we use geneseek on our test and the runs are done quarterly. So now the next run would be winter EPDs. As of today I have had animals tested 50k at my cost and only have the info I posted earlier. I am not trying to complain about the way things are , just trying to understand what I do have. I hope that the next run will indicated geo epds.I still would like to know what the results mean. Should Geneseek send me a report? I believe that next year things will be eaisier to understand. So do you test each calf for the 50k, or does it matter if the sire and dam have been tested? That is one thing I dont understand, If my donor is tested and the bull I flush with is tested will there be any benifit of EPD, or EPD accuracy on the ET calfs or will I still have to test each calf. If I do have to test each calf would it matter if the parents have been tested? We do get percentile rankings on our calfs even without 50k. There is a ranking for virgin animals and a ranking for producing cows and bulls each I believe. [/QUOTE]
