[QUOTE="Supa Dexta, post: 1228633, member: 23321"] CED is calving ease direct. It is the heifer number on how easy a 2 yr old will calve, There's also CE sometime and also CEM. A good CEM will produce heifers that are easier calving. So CED - Calving ease direct = 1st calf heifers CE - Calving ease of a cow CEM - How good the daughter of the mating will be with her calving ease in the future. Depends on the breed too, some use different names, and some don't have certain EPD's at all. Simmental calls it MCE for example, rather than CEM It is sort of confusing, and I'm certainly no expert.
