[QUOTE="Herefords.US, post: 771226, member: 3972"] I think the problem is (and it was with me, too, at first) that it's hard to believe that something can become that widely used and accepted and actually be a total ruse. And EPDs are not a TOTAL ruse, but when an auctioneer has a very plain looking virgin bull in the ring and yells out "Look at those EPDs!" - it becomes very reminiscent of the snake oil salesmen and flim-flam men who used to go from town to town peddling their wares, as far as I'm concerned. As attributed to P. T. Barnum or Joseph Bessimer, depending on whom you believe, "There's one born every minute!" George [/QUOTE]
