[QUOTE="Luckiamute, post: 1576044, member: 14286"] As noted, it is the percentile rank of the animal tested compared to all other Angus who also have been tested. The lower the number (1, 2, 3, 4 ...) the better that animal compares for that particular trait, and, in most cases, the more desirable that animal would be for that trait. The higher the number (99, 98, 97, 96 ...) the worst the animal compares. So, based on the numbers you provided, that particular animal would be consider "poor" for calving ease and birth weight (guess it would be a high birth weight animal with some muscle and width that could result in calving difficulties) but this animal would be slightly better than average for yearling weight and docility, near the top third percentile for weaning weight, and in the top 10 percent (8 to be exact) for YH, so the calf must have some frame bred into it. Hope that helps! :) [/QUOTE]
