[QUOTE="Supa Dexta, post: 1228638, member: 23321"] No problem, I edited to try and make it a bit clearer.. But the whole thing is a mess in a way. As some breeds use the same acronym for a different thing it seems. In angus CED means: Calving Ease Direct (CED) - predicts the probability of calves being born unassisted out of 2-year-old heifers. In gelbvieh: Calving Ease Daughters (CED) – Expressed as the percent of unassisted births in first calf daughters. A higher value is more favorable. So I take that to mean the angus is telling you what the 2 yr old heifer that you bred to is going to calve like. And in gelbveih that is stating what I know as CEM, what the offspring will calve like down the road. [/QUOTE]
