[QUOTE="George Monk, post: 624040, member: 3545"] Here is a little but very unscientific validation: We have a VERY gentle Diversity daughter from Sydenstricker's. We genetically profiled her heifer from '08 and 5 EXT daughters. the heifer from "Princess" is also very gentle, we used her as a first show calf for my youngest son. Most know the rap on EXT and their "happiness", although you would not think of that when you work our EXT sons and daughters. ANYWAY the genetic profile for docility bore out the same results as real life. The Diversity grandaughter tested a 5 on the profile and the EXTs were 3's. I think this has great possibilities and should be used as a tool for evaluation similar to the use of EPD's. With independent confirmation the genetic profile has greater validity to the genetic possibility of that individual than EPDs which carry influence from the other side of the pedigree. [/QUOTE]
