"With THR data, we are provided with comparisons among all animals in each contemporary group," said Larry Keenan, RAAA director of breed improvement. "Since EPDs rely on measured variation within a contemporary group, THR provides for reliable EPDs and faster gains in EPD accuracy by ensuring that the variation in the performance of each calf is counted."
