[QUOTE="jwhisperj, post: 474557, member: 7444"] I know this is probably a very stupid question but I sure can't find a better place to make an ass of myself. I understand BW=birth weight etc. but what does +4.5,+42 and such mean? Does it mean that he was four and a half pounds heavier than his parents were at BW? And if someone wouldn't mind explaining the whole thing to me... I have read about EPD's but I must be thick sculled. It would be very appreciated! I understand if it is to much of a pain, I just haven't been able to find a book titled " COWS FOR DUMMY'S " I am very interested and read anything I can get my hands on and all the post so I can learn but I sure can't follow some of the stuff you guys write. :oops: :( I figure if I can't understand the talk I probably have no biz in cow biz, but what can I say... I am bound and determined! Thanks!! [/QUOTE]
