[QUOTE="SEC, post: 226598, member: 3241"] Scared of his -0.5 CED number. Get serious, I don't know or care what the averages are on that EPD. I think these EPD's are getting a little out of hand. I envision an EPD for the size of cow/bull Sh_t that is to large and causing more damage to pasture than those cattle than take smaller more frequent turds. We are blessed with all the technology that we have today but I think we act smarter than we actually are. Calving ease is a simple as this and should be the guidline for breeders selling bulls. Born assisted or unassisted.....cut the ones you had to help because the cow was having trouble. Maybe people pull them to quick but in the REAL world this is it. Born alive or dead! The dead ones don't recreate and the live ones made it past. I can't imagine how the oldtimers actually were able to breed cattle before they had all these numbers. Oh wait, I know how! COMMON SENSE! Plus, intuition and being real cattlemen. Anyone with a set of eyes and 1/2 a brain can read and understand EPD's, not just anyone can breed cattle. Sorry for the ranting and raving but this stuff is really starting to piss me off. Where are the "cattlemen" [/QUOTE]
