Calving Ease Direct EPD (CED) - Predicts the probability of calves being born unassisted out of 2-year-old heifers. Values listed in this catalog are calculated using the genetic evaluation of the animal’s predominant breed. Because calving ease EPDs are breed- specific and not directly comparable across breeds, the dominant breed evaluation provides the most accurate estimate of each bull’s calving ease potential. Milk EPD: Predicts the difference in weaning weight of a bull’s daughters due to their milk production and mothering ability, expressed in pounds. A higher Milk EPD indicates that a bull’s daughters are expected to produce calves that are heavier at weaning due to their superior milk production and mothering ability. Average Daily Gain A measure of the bull’s gain performance while, “on test.” Computed by adding the 205 day adjusted weight to the gain since weaning. It combines weaning and gain to give a complete picture of the bull’s growth. Note: Adj. Yearling Wt. is the best performance measure of the bull. Adjusted Yearling Weight Ratio.

Frame Score Adjusted for age to help predict mature size. Scrotal Circumference Adjusted to yearling age, in cm. Large scrotal circumference indicates greater service capacity, daughters will tend to be more fertile and productive cows. Use scrotal circumference to improve total herd fertility. Used to help avoid, “Brisket Disease.” Scores of 42 and less are recommended for ranches above 7,000 ft. Ranches lower than 7,000 ft. have little risk of, “Brisket,” or, “High Mountain Disease.” EPD Base. Each breed association has their own EPD base that they choose to use. To assist our customers in comparing bulls against each other we have adjusted each animal in this catalog to the Red Angus base (RA). Pulmonary Artery Pressure
