In the original post, he said where 12 ced is getting to be considered a difficult calver. I think some missed that.
I was being sarcastic. A 12 CED is not a difficult calver - thanks for the great enlightenment. That's actually my point. But there was a day when a 12 CED was a super calving ease bull and a 5 was "average". Now they are putting out bulls at 15, 17 - when will we hit 20 and soon 12 will be "average". I fully understand a 12 CED is not a difficult calver. But if a 12 is calving ease, what is a 17? Is an 8 still calving ease? My point is that the transition from 5 to 17 on the y axis with time to get to 17 CED on the x axis has been exponential - a change that seems faster than genetically possible.
Never mind. Carry on.
