[QUOTE="Alan, post: 156790, member: 378"] As I look into starting a A.I. program, I'm researching potential bulls. One thing that I now realize is that the calving ease-direct (CED) has the bearing on how easy the cows will calf, (rather then BW...this makes my a rookie still :D ). As I have learned with Hereford's the higher the CED number the eaiser the cow will calve (under normal conditions, +4.2 is much better then -6.2). But can anyone tell me what number may to too low and start giving me calving problems? Not talking about first time hiefers, I'll keep easy calvers on them. Thanks, Alan [/QUOTE]
