Frequently Asked Questions
What do the EPDs mean?
-
BW - Difference in average BW of sire vs breed average
-
Muscling - Difference in average of topline,
hindquarter, and stifle ratings of offspring vs breed average
Why don't you do EPDs for crossbred cattle?
In order to apply EPDs in a better way and make the sim
more realistic, we calculate the EPDs separately for each breed.
