Branch View Bull Data Collection For over twenty years we have taken multiple measure- ments on our herd and turn into the American Angus Association. These measurements provide data to assist in the calculation of each animal’s EPDs. Each year we turn in over 6,000 data points, plus DNA, to insure the EPDs on our herd are as accurate as possible.
