Due to additional data becoming available for the low acurracy carcass traits, the ranges of these traits have been adjusted to align with the breed’s higher accuracy growth traits and
provide a truer industry picture. While this impacts an animal’s actual carcass EPDs, it does not impact ranking within the breed. Following adjustment and with the additional data,
ranks remain above a 98% correlation as compared to the August 2014 download.
