Simmental EPD Explanations
RIBEYE AREA (REA) Reported as the difference in square inches of ribeye area between the 12th and 13th rib. Higher values are more favorable. Only economically relevant if producers retain ownership or are driven by terminal perfor- mance. BACK FAT (BF) Reported as the difference in inches of external backfat at the 12th and 13th rib. Lower and more negative values represent less backfat, resulting in leaner carcasses, and are more favorable. Only economically relevant if producers retain ownership or are driven by terminal performance. YIELD GRADE (YG) Reported as the difference in progeny USDA Yield Grade score units (1–5). Lower values represent leaner carcasses with more saleable beef. Only economically relevant if producers retain ownership or are driven by terminal performance. MARBLING SCORE (MARB) Reported as the difference in progeny carcass marbling score. Higher Evaluates sires for use on the entire cow herd (bred to both Angus first-calf heifers and mature cows) with the portion of their daughters required to maintain herd size retained and the remaining heifers and steers put on feed and sold on a grid (carcass grade and yield). Use if you are planning on retaining females. A higher value is more favorable. TERMINAL INDEX ($TI): Evaluates sires for use on mature Angus cows with all offspring put on feed and sold on a grid (grade and yield). Use in a straight terminal breeding program. A higher value is more favorable. values are more favorable. ALL-PURPOSE INDEX ($API):
CALVING EASE DIRECT (CE) Reported as the difference in probability of calves being born unassisted out of first-calf heifers. Higher values are more favorable. CALVING EASE MATERNAL (MCE) Reported as the difference in probability of daughters calving unassisted as first-calf heifers. Higher values are more favorable. MILK (MLK) Reported as the difference in maternal pounds of weaning weight from an individual’s daughters due to milk. Desirable values are dependent on management constraints. MATERNAL WEANING WEIGHT (MWW) Reported as the pounds of weaning weight expressed in daughters’ progeny due to the milk production of the daughter and the direct genetic effect for weaning growth. Higher values are more favorable. STAYABILITY (STAY) Reported as the difference in probability of a sire’s daughters staying in the herd until 6 years of age, given that they calved as a 2-year-old. Higher values are more favorable. BIRTH WEIGHT (BW) Reported as the difference in pounds of calf birth weight. Desirable values are dependent upon management goals, however if selecting for reduced calving difficulty the appropriate EPD to use is CE. WEANING WEIGHT (WW) Reported as the difference in pounds of progeny weaning weight. High- er values are more favorable. YEARLING WEIGHT (YW) Reported as the difference in pounds of progeny yearling weight. Higher values are more favorable. CARCASS WEIGHT (CW) Reported as the difference in pounds of progeny carcass weight. Higher values are more favorable. Only economically relevant if producers retain ownership or are driven by terminal performance.
