[QUOTE="simme, post: 1746064, member: 40418"] Franchise, not Transformer. But, yes TJ Franchise is a smaller frame bull. Suspect he would increase frame on a 3 frame cow if anyone was unlucky enough to have one. He should reduce frame on those 6 and 7 frame cows. I think your point is that ASA does not currently publish YH or MH EPD like the angus people do. But, they do collect data. Perhaps to offer those epd's in the future based on a larger data set. Interesting that the AAA MH epd is based on only 125,000 records while their BW epd is based on 9.5 million records. Apparently, it is difficult to get members to turn in data for mature height. If the members don't measure and submit data, the epd can't be worth much. A couple of epd's that ASA has and AAA does not - STAY (cow longevity) and SHR (shear/tenderness). [/QUOTE]
