Cattlemen commented that as a mature bull would have so much top shape, hip and stifle expression as any bull they have seen for a while and desire to build their cowherd in that direction. Many cattlemen across the country run their cowherds under commercial conditions. They demand that they not only survive under these harsh environmental conditions, but thrive.

Producers need the most advanced information to make smart selection decisions, and Angus Genetics Inc. (AGI) provides it through genomic-enhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs). EPDs that traditionally contained all pedigree, performance and progeny information now also include results from available genomic, or DNA, tests. Breeders who use genomic technology give buyers access to AGI-generated GE-EPDs that provide: Increased predictability and decreased risk for young and unproven animals due to enhanced accuracy of EPDs Better characterization of genetics for difficult-to-measure performance traits (such as carcass traits, maternal traits and feed efficiency) The ability to make more rapid progress for traits that are important to you, due to: more accurate selection easier identification of genetic outliers the ability to propagate young animals with confidence earlier in their lives In fact, GE-EPDs on unproven animals have the same amount of accuracy as if they had recorded 8-33 calves, depending on the trait. That s valuable insight, offered regularly through the breed s weekly national cattle evaluation at How do you know if EPDs are genomic-enhanced? Ask your breeder, refer to the registration paper, or look for the AGI GE-EPD logo, Angus GS TM powered by partner Neogen GeneSeek or the HD50k or i50k by partner Zoetis

The EPD is a much better indicator of what s in the calf genetically, and in natural calves, his own birth weight has been factored into his EPD. Studies have shown EPDs to be as much as nine times more accurate than ratios or raw weights as a selection tool. We believe in breeding heifers to low EPD bulls, with a of or higher. is only a measure for use in breeding heifers and is not meant to be a measure for breeding cows. It seems to us that the Angus breed has gotten a bit carried away with the concept of birth EPDs, when it comes to breeding cows. Our experience is that a big, stout calf at birth is usually the big stout calf at weaning. So remember that a.0 EPD in an Angus bull is equivalent to a +2.8 EPD in Simmental or a -1.3 EPD Charolais according to the 2010 Across Breed EPDs of the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center. Also, an old University of Missouri study showed that cows will naturally try to produce a calf that weighs about 7% of her own body weight. Seven percent of a 1,000 pound cow is 70 pounds, but 7% of a 1,500 pound cow is 105 pounds. Our cows are by no means small, and our average mature cow weight is close to that 1,500 pound figure. EPD EVALUATION We have the following abbreviations throughout this sale book with regard to EPDs. Remember that an EPD is an estimate of how future progeny will perform, relative to other Angus cattle with EPD values. The accuracy figure, just after the EPD, indicates the possible future change in the EPD. The higher the accuracy, the less likely the EPD will change appreciably. - Birth weight, expressed in pounds. - Weaning weight, expressed in pounds adjusted to 205 days of age. Milk - Influence of the dam, due to her milking ability, on weaning weight, expressed in pounds of calf weaned. - Yearling weight, expressed in pounds adjusted to 365 days of age. CW - Carcass weight, expressed in pounds at a given end point. MB - Marbling, expressed as a portion of a marbling score (one point of marbling score = 1/3 quality grade). REA - Ribeye area, expressed in square inches, at a given end point. FT - Fat thickness, expressed in inches, at a given end point. SC - Scrotal circumference, expressed in centimeters, at a year of age. - Percentage of unassisted births when a sire is mated to virgin heifers. Higher values indicate more unassisted births. - Percentage of unassisted births as first calf heifers. DOC - Percentage increase in number of progeny scoring 1 (most docile). Remember that no EPD is absolute. It simply allows you to compare genetic differences in sires. As an example, if you were to use a high accuracy +30 EPD sire in your herd, and the weaning weights average 550 pounds, then you could expect a high accuracy +40 EPD sire to sire calves averaging 560 pounds, if used in exactly the same situation. A sire with a.0 EPD should sire calves averaging four pounds heavier at birth than a sire with a +2.0 EPD
