[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 1189149, member: 9933"] The three current Angus sires with an CED at .95 of greater than 12 and a WW of greater than 50 are: CED Acc WW 13 .95 58 SAV Bismarck 5682 12 .97 54 Mytty in Focus 12 .96 61 SAV Final Answer 0035 There are many with an accuracy of .90 or better. It takes a lot of data to get a .95 accuracy, and I don't suppose every breeder observes or reports calving ease on every heifer. It is much more difficult to get highly accurate calving ease numbers, than to get BW or WW numbers, so it would unrealistic to demand that kind of accuracy before using a bull. If we all bred only to bulls with that high of accuracy, no more bulls would ever get that accurate. Often, by the time they reach that accuracy, they are no longer available, very expensive, or no longer popular with the current buyers. [/QUOTE]
