[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1562592, member: 16453"] EBV's are the Australian version of EPD's. They are done by the University of New England and they have been performance recording since the beginning and are very good with what they do. It is like any other performance recording you have to be familiar with a breeds numbers to know what is good and bad. For a quick look at it the bar graph gives you a pretty good feel for where that particular bull stands with respect to breed average for each parameter ie to the right or left of the line. The %age is just the accuracy of each parameter which increases as more data of offspring is collected. The +/- is just where he stands above or below the original data base way back, you really only need to concern yourself with where he stands with respect to breed average for 2017 born calves which is tabulated. A lot of people are looking for +ve fats for easy doing where he is -ve, not a deal breaker. Of course all measurements are in metric hence the kg and cm for scrotal. Ken [/QUOTE]
