Bidding Intructions
There’s little room for error in the cattle business. You need the most advanced information to make smart selection decisions, and Angus Genetics Inc. (AGI®) provides it through genomically-enhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs). EPDs that traditionally contained all pedigree, performance and progeny information now also include results from available genomic, or DNA, tests. Breeders who use genomic technology give buyers access to AGI-generated GE-EPDs that provide: Driving the science of better breeding Information on Angus Genomic Enhanced EPDs GENOMIC SCORES ARE LISTED NEXT TO EACH ANGUS BULL LOT IN THIS CATALOG.
Bid online from the comfort of your home! Preview the sale lots online, along with comprehensive data, pedigree, EPD’s, and videos of each lot for several days before the sale. During that time, bidders can leave a maximum bid, which the system will represent confidentially up to that amount. Bidders can also actively bid as the bid increases prior to the close of the sale. All lots will close at the same time in a horse race format. If a bid is placed within 5 minutes of the closing time, closing times will be extended 5 minutes for all lots after bid is increased. This will continue until no bids are placed for 5 minutes. Once the time runs out, the sale closes. Buyers must create an account and request a buyer number through DVAuction. Sign up 24 hours prior to bidding and review the helpful tutorial at www.dvauction.com. You will receive an email stating the final bid price on the lot you purchased if you are the winning bidder. After the online sale closes, we will contact the buyers of each lot to make payment arrangements as soon as we can. If you have questions before we contact you, feel free to call us. If you do not wish to navigate the online sale, please contact us ahead of sale day to make arrangements for someone to manage that for you.
Increased predictability and decreased risk for young and unproven animals due to enhanced accuracy of EPDs Better characterization of genetics for difficult-to- measure performance traits (such as carcass traits, maternal traits and feed efficiency) The ability to make more rapid progress for traits that are important to you, due to: · more accurate selection Driving the science of better breeding There’s little room for error in the cattle business. You need the most advanced information to make smart selection decisions, and Angus Genetics provides it through genomically-enhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs). GE-EPDs have become the industry standard for herd improvement, b on decades of science-backed genetic evaluation tools originated and maintained through the American Angus Association ® , home to the largest and eve single-breed beef cattle database.
· easier identification of genetic outliers · the ability to propagate young animals with confidence earlier in their lives
EPDs that traditionally contained all pedigree, performance and progeny information now also include results from available genomic, or DNA, tests. Breed use genomic technology give buyers access to AGI-generated GE-EPDs that provide:
In fact, GE-EPDs on unproven animals have the same level of accuracy as if they have recorded 7-33 progeny, depending on the trait. That’s valuable insight, offered regularly through the breed’s weekly national cattle evaluation at www.angus.org. How do you know if EPDs are genomically-enhanced? Ask your breeder, refer to the registration paper, or look for the AGI GE-EPD logo, Angus GS TM powered by Neogen or the HD50K® by Zoetis.
