Explanation of Performance Terms BW: Birth Weight, 40% inheritable, 60% nutritional 205 WT: 205 Adjusted Weight, 30% heritable. They are corrected weights as if every calf was born the same day. ADG: Average Daily Gain on a 120-day gain. W/D/A: Weight per Day of Age. 365 WT: 365-Day Weight, 60% to 65% heritable. SC: Scrotal Circumference, in centimeters. P/S: Bulls that developed scurs since weaning time. SCURS REMOVED. Smooth Terminal Sire Index (TSI) The AICA Terminal Sire Index (TSI) is a formal method of combining Expected Progeny Differences (BWT, WWT, YWT, REA, HCW, MARB and FAT) into one single value on which to base selection decisions. The TSI uses estimates of the genetic relationships between traits with an economic default value based on three year rolling USDA data. The TSI represents a dollar index per terminal progeny produced for a bull in the AICA database, ranking them for profit potential. This dollar index is to be interpreted much like single trait EPD. For example, if Sire A’s index is $191.66 and Sire B’s index is $200.00, then we would expect Sire B’s offspring to average $8.34 more net return ($200 minus $191.66) than Sire.
