[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 315168, member: 968"] El_Putzo, you are correct in the terminoligy. I was calculating 205's so I took BW out of actual weight / by age in days. Oakcreek - at least in the Simmental breed, we have Maternal Calving Ease EPD. So, IF you use multiple traits in your breeding program, lowering BW has NOT created hard calving cows. But our breed stresses MCE. Actually, we stress CE more than BW. It used to be - if the bull had a great CE than his MCE sucked! but not anymore. Not saying ALL bulls are that way, but we sure have a good selection. So, no, to answer your question. [/QUOTE]
