DATA KEY Please make note that many of the animals were in different contemporary groupings at weaning; therefore, it is not fair to compare birth, weaning and yearling weights from one herd to another.

EPD PERCENTILE RANKINGS
ACTUAL BW AND SCROTAL AND OUR DISPOSITION RANKING
Birth Weight: 86 Scrotal: 36 Disposition:
Terminal Index (TERM) combines birth weight, weaning weight, milk production, post wean gain, ribeye area, marbling, and back fat EPDs into a single number. The index is expressed as a standard deviation from the breed average, meaning that bulls with a +2 index are two standard deviations above the average. Higher numbers are superior to low numbers. Fertility Index (FERT) combines heifer pregnancy, stayability, days to first calving, mature cow weight, and back fat EPDs into a single number. The index is expressed as a standard deviation from the breed average, meaning that bulls with a +2 index are two standard deviations above the average. Higher numbers are superior to low numbers. ULTRASOUND EPDs Ribeye Area (REA) EPD predicts total muscle. Intramuscular Fat (IMF) EPD predicts % of intramuscular fat which is highly correlated to marbling. *REA and FT are primary components of USDA YG and marbling is the primary component of USDA QG. PERFORMANCE Individual performance data is provided as supplementary information as EPDs provide more reliable evaluation of genetic differences of animals. Actual Birth Weight (BW) are reported. Weaning Weight (WW) are adjusted to 205 days.
Yearling Weight (YW) are adjusted to 365 days. Scrotal Circumference (SC) are adjusted to 365 days. Average Daily Gain (ADG) is a measure of growth rate on a high energy diet. It is positively associated with feed efficiency. Ribeye Areas (REA) are adjusted to 365 days and ratioed relative to contemporaries. Intramuscular Fat (IMF) are adjusted to 365 days and ratioed relative to contemporaries. IMF is highly correlated to marbling. Brangus EPDs are calculated by the Livestock Genetic Services and are part of a program called the National Cattle Evaluation (NCE). EPD PERCENTILE RANKINGS Individual ranking relative to the entire breed population on a specific trait, represented in the form of a percentage, with 1% being best and 99% being worst. DISPOSITION SCORING In the bull portion of this catalog we have included a disposition score for every Brangus & Ultrablack bull selling. 5 stars being the best and 1 being the worst. Please note the explanation of our scoring system and contact CDP Brangus with any questions you may have.
Top Dollar Angus Qualified Genomically Enhanced EPDs
GE-EPDs are a more accurate way to estimate an animal’s genetic value than traditional EPDs, especially for younger animals. They use DNA test results, also known as genomic tests, along with other data to improve the reliability of an animal’s EPD. EPDs Expected Progeny Difference (EPDs) is the best estimate of an animal’s genetic merit for a particular trait. It takes into account the animals’ own performance compared with its contemporaries and the performance of its relatives compared against their contemporaries. Birth Weight (BW) EPD predicts calf size and calving ease. Weaning Weight (WW) EPD predicts preweaning growth potential. Yearling Weight (YW) EPD predicts overall growth potential. Milk EPD predicts the maternal contribution to weaning weight of the calf through milk production, behavior, immunity and other maternal environmental factors. Total Maternal (TM) is a reflection of a sires daughters milking ability, and growth potential of their calves when compared to another sires daughters. Scrotal Circumference
(SC) EPD predicts not only testicular size of male progeny but also daughters onset of puberty.
