[QUOTE="Sandpit Farm, post: 3656028, member: 1646"] This is a good point. When a lamb is born, you cannot base it's figures on anything OTHER than historical data. Data on the lamb itself then carries more weight. We would know how we expect that lamb to perform (and usually they meet expectations).... Where it gets interesting is the variation in performance between the 100 or so lambs born from that ram. As we know correlations to other traits, we can predict what muscling EBVs will be even without actual data. Again, usually they meet expectation. The only aspect that is affected is the accuracy values.... Which is like an error bar really [/QUOTE]
