[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1820712, member: 968"] Interesting points of view. I'm a long time breeder and I also show. I use EPD's as a TOOL as they are meant to be used. They are not the Almighty's gift to the beef industry. You cannot use EPD's without LOOKING at your cattle. The Simmental breed promotes the use of BALANCED EPD's by requiring all the Regional and National junior show judges to use the current EPDs on all the show cattle. Color....I love the excitement at the birth of a calf....what color? any white markings? What sex? I tell everyone, I don't care if cattle are red, black, purple or polka dotted.....just as long as they are good. Good cattle are good no matter what color, what breed, in the pasture, in the showing, or hanging on the hook. There are a lot of people that cheat. Whether it's breeding cattle, selling cattle, showing cattle, ....you name it. There are people who cheat. I get beat in the show ring by cattle that are better than mine. I also get beat by cheaters with fake cattle. "Most" people in the industry know where my cattle SHOULD stand. [/QUOTE]
