I am having trouble reading my registration papers. I think i got the idea of it but not for sure.
what does this mean? the name of animal on top and not for sure what the bottom is

DJ REFLECTOR 156879
purebred 7.81 AN 1.56 HO

i know what the top means maybe someone can help me what the bottom means
here is another example

MISS GREEN VALLEY 09Z 150870
50.00 MA 37.50 AN 12.50 XX

the top is the name of the animal and its registration number i think i know what the bottom is but want peoples opinion who has had more experience with this

also here are my heifer epds help tell me what they mean
bw ww mat milk yearling weight
3.7 24.5 1.7 46.8

her actual birthweight is 88 and yearling weight 631

Top line...registered name an registration number
next line percentage and breed(?)
On the second one, I'd guess 50% maine, 37.5% angus, 12.5% unknown

BW = birthweight epd
ww = weaning weight epd
mat milk = maternal milk epd
yearling wt or yw = yw epd
None of those will match any actual weights. They are quoted as above or below the average set by the registering organization

Clear as mud?
