NEMO
The people at the genomics company that does DNA for Simm readjusted numbers back in the fall or winter. I think Simm and Gelb and maybe another breed or two all have a combined data set. Essentially what happened is the statisticians decided there where too many data points in a tight area and it needed spread out. When the dust settled some animals that might have been decent CED and BW went down hill, some significantly, while often the growth numbers went way up. It's also interesting that certain bulls that have a more "power" body type, it seems like the DNA is able to pick that up and it reflects in the numbers. A lot of breeders were pretty upset, but it seems like the numbers are actually more accurate, which is maybe what you're seeing in the real world
