When the BCHF breeding ranks became available from Neogen, we decided to see how our genetics would stack up. We tested our fall bulls with the Igenity Beef Profile along with the BCHF Breeding Rank. Many of these traits are similar to the Angus GS DNA model. Igenity ranks cattle using simple one to ten scores for key traits. As we were analyzling the data we were pleased with the correlation we found between the RFI Igenity profile scores and the data we have collected over the last 14 years with our Grow Safe System. Dr. Paige Pratt, Igenity Beef Genomics Specialist for USA and Canada Livestock Team will be our Guest Speaker Sunday night for a talk on “What Igenity can do for you”. Indexes, Ranking Table and Definitions of Igenity DNA Traits A score of 5.95 to 10.0 is considered to be in the Elite Tier. Best of the best. These cattle rank genetically superior to 75% of Igenity tested cattle

Igenity Maternal Index (IMI): Igenity Maternal Index is designed to select replacement heifers for fertility, longev - ity and higher weaned calf weight. It is a tool developed for producers who sell calves at weaning or after a short backgrounding period. Igenity Production Index (IPI): The Igenity Production Index is well balanced for maternal, production and carcass progeny traits. It is designed for producers who raise their own heifers and want broad improvement across mul- tiple traits. Igenity Terminal Index (ITI) : The Igenity Terminal Index is specialized to identify animals with superior carcass per - formance. It places the highest emphasis on hot carcass weight, followed by marbling and rib eye area. There is, however, a negative emphasis placed on residual feed intake and fat thickness to control feed costs and improve yield grade. MATERNAL TRAITS Birth Weight (BW): Lower Value is Desired. This is the variation in birthweight a heifer or bull will pass along to its offspring. Calving Ease Direct (CED): Higher Value is Desired. Percentage of unassisted births, indicating greater probability that a calf will be born unassisted out of a first calf heifer. Calving Ease Maternal (CEM): Higher Value is Desired. Includes all genetic factors that impact a first-calf heifer’s ability to calve unassisted.

• Higher genetic potential for the trait is a smaller percentile rank (YW, Marb, REA, HP, etc.) • BW & RFI is the inversion of this (1 percentile rank is a 2 Igenity score)
Docility (DOC): Higher number is Desired. The animal’s genetic potential to be calm or have calm offspring. Heifer Pregnancy Rate (HPR): Higher Value is Desired. A heifer’s chance of conceiving over a normal breeding season. Stability (STAY): Higher Value is Desired. The chance a heifer will remain in the herd as a productive cow until at least six years of age. PERFORMANCE TRAITS Average Daily Gain (ADG): Higher Value is Desired. Based on the pounds of gain per day. The Igenity score identifies an animal’s genetic potential for post-weaning growth. Residual Feed Intake (RFI): Lower Value is Desired: This measure is an indicator of feed efficiency. It is the difference in animal’s daily consumption of feed to achieve the same level of daily gain. Weaning Weight (WWT): The Higher the Number, the greater the weaning weight of calves. Yearling Weight (YWT): The Higher the Number, the greater the yearling weight of calves. Scrotal Circumference (SC): A Higher Score Equates to Higher Scrotal Size. The difference in scrotal size is an indication of fertility in replacement females. CARCASS TRAITS Hot Carcass Weight (HCW): Hot carcass weight is the hot or unchilled weight of the carcass after slaughter and the removal of the head, hide, intes- tinal tract and internal organ. Fat Thickness (FAT): Higher thickness scores equate to a lower lean yield. Fat thickness is scored as depth of fat in inches over the rib eye muscle at the 12th rib. Tenderness (TEND): Higher Score is Desired. An animal’s genetic potential for carcass tenderness (measured by Warner-Bratzler shear force test). USDA Marbling (MARB): Higher Score is Desired. Marbling score indicates the degree of marbling in the rib eye at the 12th rib expressed in USDA marbling units. BOVINE CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE BCHF Breeding Rank (BCHF): Lower Score is Desired. Indicates probability that an animal will pass down genes for Bovine Congestive Heart Failure; a disease that can cause death during periods of stress in the feedlot. Higher scores equate to increased likelihood of risk within calves.
