Here's a question in regards to bull and bull epd comparison.
If you were to compare Connealy Right Answer and Connealy Confidence Plus.
My intent is to use Right Answer because of his age and history but when you compare them side by side, they're really quite similar from their recorded B, W, and Y weights to their EPD's. Right answer has a bit more frame. They're both calving ease but C-Plus shows a bit more CED/CEM.
My thought process is Right answer has been around longer and has more reg'd offspring BUT, Confidence Plus has Preg Check of 105 with 78% reliability while Right Answer doesn't show a Preg Check score. Is this the right perspective when comparing and or should the Preg Check score get more recognition in this comparison?
