PHENOTYPE Determined by the average
phenotypic score given by our five graders when sorting bulls for the sale. CALVING A rating of calving ease within their respective breeds. 5 stars would be suitable candidates to use on heifers. WEANING Real dollars for those that sell at weaning influenced by both genomic EPDs and actual performance. MATERNAL A measure of a bull’s daughters to be efficient, fertile and have longevity. TERMINAL A measure of post-weaning gain, feedlot performance and carcass quality. DOCILITY A rating of the disposition of the bull.
