[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 879057, member: 14661"] You have a fairly well bred cow. :D On CE(calving ease) a higher number is better. She's not great on CE but is above average. BW, WW, YW is for birth, weining, and yearling weight respectively and is expressed in pounds so genetically they expect her to throw calves that average 1.1 pounds more than the average Charolais but they should calve fairly easily. Her calves are expected to be 29lbs above average at weining time and 52 at year old... Good growth. Milk is an aproximation of how much she'll help her calves grow with her milk output, positive means above average. MCE is maternal calving ease which is a measurement of how easily her daughters will calve and again positive is better. Sc is scrotal circumferance which is used to evaluate bulls for their fertility. Cwt, REA, Fat, Marb, are carcass traits. It's carcass weight, rib eye area, backfat, and marbling. You have zero's for those traits becase no information was provided to the association about carcass traits for your cow. The pedigree part reads like a family tree... Notice that vcr sir duke 914 is on both the top and bottom of the tree? That's okay as it's a ways back in her pedigree but when you breed her back you'll want to find something without that bull in his pedigree or at least a few generations back. When you choose a bull that you like compare his family tree to your cows and make sure there aren't to many similarities. [/QUOTE]
