[QUOTE="james coffelt, post: 1309471, member: 23203"] The low birth weight bulls, correlate with high CED, they are "roughly" the same bulls. The high birth weight bulls, correlate with low CED bulls, they are roughly the same bulls. Check the AAA search engine. They are roughly the same bulls. Of our 12 herd bulls, there is one outlier, otherwise, a direct correlation on 11. The outlier is a -.4 BW, and 14 CED, interesting, and I had not noticed before this conversation. We want a 100% calving ease herd. Most important is stocking rate with a calf on the ground, i.e., fertility, which is effected by size, fleshing, milking, efficiency. Growth, weaning weights, yearling weights, and every other measure, are financial details. [/QUOTE]
