[QUOTE="Supa Dexta, post: 1405657, member: 23321"] Ranking a cow 1-5 is just a way of noting how hard the delivery was, if you keep records. The actual epd numbers don't follow that numbering and depends on the breed what the range of numbers may be. A simmental would be an easy calving with a number in the teens.. Charolais uses different numbers, and a good one for them is upwards of 70 I believe? Angus is in the teens also I think. Best plan of attack with epds is to search for the breed average, and then compare the animals numbers to the avg to see where it sits amongst its peers. [/QUOTE]
