This young Bull has always been myfavourite in the pasture. I am especiallyimpressed with his quiet nature and thelength of body and very easy actionand movement . At the time of thispicture he was just out of pasture andjust weaned. This is what he has donewith no creep, just mother and grass. Aswith all our cattle he is 100% Shorthorn,so can be used to upgrade anypercentage animals you have. Like thebred female in the sale he is out of thesame cow, which needless to say showshow consistent this pedigree is workingin producing top animals. DON’T lookthe other way and miss this future herdsire.

Expected progeny differences (EPDs) are a very important tool usedin genetic selection. EPDs are used to compare the differences inpredicted performance of animals’ offspring for specific traits.Calculation of EPDs is driven by pedigree, progeny, and individualperformance data. The American Shorthorn Association offerstwelve different EPDs for specific traits. Additionally,  ASA providesthree economic ($ Value) indexes, providing a single value for theselection of breeding stock that optimizes selection on a number oftraits that define profit in a particular production scenario.

Calving Ease Direct (CED): The most important EPD in sire selectionfor use on heifers. This value is expressed as a percent of unassistedbirths; the more positive a number is the more desirable.Birth Weight (BW): An indicator of birth weight and calving ease.Larger BW EPDs typically, but not always indicate more calvingdifficulty.Weaning Weight (WW): Weaning weight measures the differencesin weight of calves at weaning, and is also reported in pounds. Ahigher WW EPD indicates an expected higher weaning weight.Yearling Weight (YW): Like other weight traits, YW measure thedifferences in weight of animals at yearling, and is also expressed inpounds. Higher YW EPDs indicate a higher expected yearlingweight.Milk (MK): the expected differences in a bull’s daughters’ calves atweaning weight due to their milking ability. Milk is looking at howwell daughters milk and how that translates to the weaning weightsof their calves. A higher MK EPD indicates a higher weaning weightdue to the bull’s daughters’ milking ability.

Total Maternal (TM): TM predicts the total difference in weight ofa bull’s daughters’ calves at weaning. A portion of this difference inweight comes from the milking ability of the bull’s daughters (MKEPD), and a portion comes from the genes for growth passed fromthe bull to his daughters and then on to their calves. The TM EPD iscalculated by taking ½ of a bull’s WW EPD + his MK EPD.Calving Ease Maternal (CEM):  Reflects a bull’s ability to siredaughters who calve unassisted. The value is expressed as apercentage of unassisted births, with a more positive number beingmore desirable.Stayability (ST): The newest addition to the Shorthorn EPD lineup,Stayability is a measure of the percentage of a bull’s daughters thatwill still be in the herd at six years old. Like CED and CEM, Stayabilityis expressed as a percentage. A higher ST EPD indicates a higherpercentage of daughters staying in the herd.Yield Grade (YG):  YG measures the differences in carcass yieldability. In the United States, beef carcasses are measured for YieldGrade on a 1 (highest yielding) to 5 (lowest yielding) scale. The YGEPD is expressed in units of points on the USDA Yield Grade scoringsystem. Animals with a more negative YG EPD are expected toproduce progeny with carcasses that have lower yield grade scores.Carcass Weight (CW): expressed in pounds as a predictor of thedifferences in hot carcass weight of a sire’s progeny compared toprogeny of other sires.Ribeye Area (REA): REA measures the difference in ribeye area of abull’s progeny. REA is measured in square inches. A higher REA EPDis indicative of expected larger ribeyes.

Marbling Score (MB): evaluation of intramuscular fat deposition inthe ribeye as expressed in USDA numeric marbling scores. Highervalues indicate genetics that are expected to marble and have ahigher quality grade.Backfat (FT): Fat thickness measures the amount of back fat on acarcass. FT is reported in inches. A lower FT EPD indicates a bullwhose progeny will have less fat on the carcass than a bull with ahigher FT EPD.Calving Ease Direct ($CEZ): This index assumes a bull will only bemated to heifers, not cows. The potential profitability of the sire ismeasured by the incidence of live calves at birth. Moderate maturesize is also emphasized in the index, but performance is not apriority.British Maternal Index ($BMI): This multi-trait selection indexattempts to measure a bull’s potential profitability whencomplimenting the British cow base (Angus, Red Angus, Hereford,etc.). Shorthorn females can likewise be gauged at adding value toBritish or British-composite bulls of other breeds. A balance ofgrowth and carcass traits is desired with a strong maternalcomponent aimed at optimum reproductive efficiency and cowlongevity.Feedlot ($F): $Feedlot places strong emphasis on growth andcarcass traits. This multi-trait index assumes the sire will be matedto a mix of heifers and cows and attempts to measure profitabilitywhen progeny are sold on the fed market. On the female side,mature size should be monitored closely when selecting for $F.
