To calculate EPD's you need a 4-generation pedigree. We call on more than 40 generations of data to make our predictions, and every year we add to it.
Since 1970 we’ve been bringing together the best cattle producers, scientists and beef industry influencers. We are able to have accuracies of over 50% on traits like birth weight and wean weight, and this is without adding the genomics. Once we factor in that data, we have accuracies of over 70%. Don’t roll the dice by crossbreeding on your own.
