If he truely is a +8 that would be a good thing, this next part is directly from the American Angus Assoc.  "Calving Ease Direct (CED): Calving Ease Direct EPD is expressed as percentage of unassisted births, with a higher value indicating greater calving ease in first-calf heifers. It predicts the average difference in ease with which a sire's calves will be born when he is bred to first-calf heifers."

My bad. I just looked at the Genex webpage and he was a +2.5. But i was talking to the guy about him that does our AI  and thats what he told me he was. He said he has been a cow killer.
