[QUOTE="Dave Clarkson, post: 1731469, member: 40567"] I was wondering if someone could help me understand the numbers. I called the Angus association and they didnt get back to me with info. I called a friend who understands.......but he is busy or something. I searched web sites and watched videos. I explains what the epd is and describes the different categories but doesnt tell me what the numbers are about. It there a chart or something I could go to for explaination? From what I understand on the top box with IND, Sire and Dam the letter "I" before the number for the ind stands for interim. which means there isnt enough info to make a guess which is why he has a .05 down below his weights. So, any information on how to decipher the numbers. I assume that the top number is plus or minus the average for the herd and the percent below is how accurate the prediction would be. Its better to have a BW that is a lower number and a CED number that is higher.. Are the BW and CED numbers on a scale from 1 - 10? And the rest of the categories are in lbs compared against the group average. I have no clue on the long box on the bottom. I believe on one part the sire has 209 calves out of 94 herds? Thanks for any info or advice. [/QUOTE]
