Calving Ease Daughters

Calving Ease Daughters EBVs are estimates of genetic differences in the ability of a sire’s daughters to calve unassisted at 2 years of age.

Calving Ease Daughters EBVs are calculated from calving difficulty scores, birth weights, gestation length records and/or genomic information, and are expressed as differences in the percentage of daughters that will calve unassisted.

Higher Calving Ease Daughters EBVs indicate an animal is expected to produce a higher percentage of daughters who will calve unassisted at 2 years of age.
