[QUOTE="simme, post: 1850689, member: 40418"] Need to consider the definition of the epd. ADG epd is related to post weaning gain (stocker and feedlot situation). It is not based on gain to weaning or gain from birth. If a calf weans at a good weight, it does not need as high of an adg post weaning to reach a particular kill weight as the animal that weans at a lower weight. Also note that there are differences in the meaning of an epd between breeds. [/QUOTE]
