[QUOTE="Larry Sansom, post: 134104, member: 332"] KY has a cost share program for bulls/semen and "heifer acceptable" need a 7 CED or better, whereas a "balanced trait bull" needs only a 1 CED and a "terminal bull" can go as high as a -5 CED These numbers are based on a percentile table ranking. CED involves a lot of things other than weight - shape, assistance needed, etc. The bw is a part of equation - but CED has more data. All the "science" types are swearing by the CED. As with anything - better look at more than numbers- we often forget to look at the bull - do you want sons and daughters by him - or are you just chasing numbers? [/QUOTE]
