[QUOTE="Stickney94, post: 1624561, member: 37941"] I'm actually hoping to get an HD son out of one of my cows this spring that I plan on retaining if all goes well. Gardiner Angus has some information available and some videos with some lectures that I just perused last night. I know GAR, like SAV, can be a four letter word for some people. But I learned a few things that were helpful. The Angus association does have both carcass and ultrasound numbers and numbers of herd submitted, but GAR's videos explained that you need roughly 7 carcass results to get to .45 accuracy for the carcass EPDs (not sure if ultrasounds have a different threshold). I will say, I went and started looking through the Angus sire reports and there are a LOT of big name AI sires that don't have a single carcass submitted (they may have ultrasounds, but not carcasses). Made me rethink some breedings I had planned. [/QUOTE]
