PARENT EPD
NON PARENT EPD
PEDIGREE EPD

17
Q

sires and dams (they have progeny with data)

A

Parent EPD

18
Q

Has own record, no progeny

A

Non parent EPD

19
Q

no record itself; average of parent EPDs

A

Pedigree EPD

20
Q

Possible Change to the accuracy depends on the variance of the trait’s what

Confidence Range

Standard Error of the EPD

21
Q

Consequence of being wrong

A

Risk

22
Q

How do you absorb risk

A

Use of large herds can absorb risk better
