Alabama | I don't have a PhD in genetics to tell you the exact way that they are calculated. Like you mentioned earlier, it starts by the average of the parents. Once weights or measurements from the contemporary groups are turned in, they will become a little more accurate. Then add in genomics, a little more accurate. Then progeny added to the equation. Knowing how each trait is correlated with another is very important to truly understanding EPD'S. Not just using bigger or smaller numbers for the sake of it. That's the easiest and quickest way to wreck a cowherd. | |
