If we send in only the top half calves weaning weight and their indexes compared to the wean group. But we do not send in the bottom half, will this make the individual sire's EPDs look different?

Yes, it can skew the sire's EPDs in favor of the best-half calves, and not for all calves he's sired. That in itself doesn't make it fair for other producers who may be interested in using that bull's semen for their cows.
