[QUOTE="ksnewb, post: 191155, member: 2902"] While looking at the EPD's of a bull I notice a Birth Weight and I also notice a number for Calving Ease. It makes sense to me that if a cow (especially heifer) was to have a smaller calf the calving would be easier. I guess my question is what all is used to decide the Calving Ease number. I am sure Birth Weight is used, but there must be something else, because they don't appear to [i][b]directly[/b][/i] effect each other. (Although they are similar.) Thanks [/QUOTE]
