Why 50K Data Matters in Bull Selection • Increased Accuracy on Young Animals: For young bulls with no progeny data, 50K genomic data can increase EPD accuracy values to a level equivalent to having seven to 20 actual progeny performance records, depending on the specific trait. This provides a much more reliable prediction of their future performance potential. • Reduced Risk in Purchasing: The added dependability in EPDs helps buyers avoid potentially costly selection mistakes when purchasing young sires. A higher accuracy value (which ranges from 0 to 1) means the EPD has greater reliability and less potential to change dramatically as more data accumulates over the bull's lifetime. • Evaluation of Difficult-to-Measure Traits: Genomic data is particularly valuable for traits that are difficult, time-consuming, or expensive to measure phenotypically in live breeding stock, such as carcass quality (marbling, yield) and maternal performance traits. • Faster Genetic Progress: By having a reliable prediction of genetic merit earlier in an animal's life, breeders can make superior selection and mating decisions sooner, which shortens the generation interval and accelerates overall genetic improvement within the herd. • ParentageVerification: The high-density 50K test often includes parentage verification at no additional cost, ensuring the pedigree information used in the EPD calculation is accurate.
