south central IOWA | EPD's change every year. If you were to report all of your calves your bull's EPD's wouldn't look so good from the sounds of it.
With that said, your bulls EPD's were figured from his performance as a calf, sire's EPD's, dams EPD's, and I think the MGS EPD's. So, as a yearling he will have an accuracy of around 20% to 25%. The more calves reported the higher the accuracy gets. There are probably more Angus bulls then any other breed that have 98% or 99% accuracy because there is just so many that get reported.
I don't know how many calves it takes to get to 99% accuracy but I'll guess maybe 10,000 to 20,000 calves reported. | |

How reliable are the BW Epd's?
