[QUOTE="Mark Reynolds, post: 1825757, member: 43196"] It's good that you are asking. Depending on your focus, some EPDs are going to be more important to you than others. Also take note, EPDs for one breed are not the equivalent of EPDs for another breed. You need to do two things first. Decide on what EPDs are the most important to you (CE is usually at the top, calving ease) and what breed you are looking at. Additionally, what kind of market are you looking at? If you are looking at marbleing, my guess would be you are looking to focus on custom/freezer beef, private sale. By the way, please post your location. We have members all over and many of them will come and help you if you are close enough. [/QUOTE]
