[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 134174, member: 637"] jscunn, I have thought about the same thing. It is kind of confusing sometimes what the numbers tell. I cannot figure out how they can say a bull has a CED of +7 when his BW is 2.2, then look a few bulls down and his CED is +3 and his BW is 2.5. Seems to me that the CED's would run a little closer. There are too many varibles that contribute to the CED, that they should have to give a written statement on why they came up with that number. Then that would stop the confusion. One with a low CED might of had a calf with a head the size of a watermelon and the cow was the size of a German Sheapard. Since I can't figure out which one means the most and what the circumstances are, I just try to find one with a low BW and a high CED. I still can't figure out how SAF Choice Plus could have a CED of 4 and a BW of 3.5 and Sydgen Eclipse has a CED of 3 and a BW of 2.5. I see this a lot on the evaluations on this subject. I am wondering if the people that rate these bulls are still trying to figure it out themselves. When you get it figured out, let me know. I need more educating. Did you check out Sydgen Ally in the sale book? I think he has gone through some major changes. :) [/QUOTE]
