Ratio
4L28 is a powerful calving ease son of OW Lead Time out of the Z208 Donor. He’s deep thick and sound. He ranks in the top 1% for Marbling and 8% for Ribeye area. Balanced traits and nice phenotype are his attributes
EPD’s where pedigree, actual performance, ratios and genomics all combine
Footnotes or additional information about the animal
Ratio or where the animal ranks within their contemporary group
TSI % Rank among all Charolais
Designates the actual performance or measurement of the animal.
TSI terminal sire index TSI represents a dollar index ranking them for profit potential for the terminal traits BW, WW, YW, REA, CW, MARB and FAT. ce calving ease The difference in percentage of unassisted births in first calf Charolais heifers. A higher value indicates greater calving ease. bw birth weight The expected difference in average birth weight (pounds) of progeny. ww weaning weight The expected difference in average weaning weight of progeny. yw yearling weight The expected difference in average yearling weight of progeny. m milk The genetic ability of a sire’s or dam’s daughters to express pounds of weaning weight due to her maternal ability through mothering instinct and milk. mce maternal calving ease The difference in percentage of unassisted births in first calf daughters. A higher value indicates greater calving ease. sc scrotal circumference The expected difference in scrotal circumference (expressed in centimeters) of a bull’s or dam’s male offspring at yearling. Research has indicated a relationship between increased SC EPD and decreased age at puberty for daughters. ud udder score The difference in udder suspension. The higher the number the better daughters are expected to be for udder suspension. te teat score The difference in teat size. The higher the number the better daughters are expected to be for teat size. cw carcass weight Expected progeny differences for carcass weight is a predictor of pounds of retail product at a constant age endpoint. rea ribeye area Ribeye area is measured from a cross-sectional area of the longissimus dorsi muscle at the 12th rib. Ribeye Area EPD are expressed in square inches at a constant age endpoint. ft fat thickness Fat thickness is measured at the 12th rib and expressed in inches . mb marbling Marbling is a subjective measure of the amount of intramuscular fat in the ribeye muscle. Marbling score is the primary component of USDA Quality grade and selection for increased Marbling Score EPD should result in cattle with higher quality grades at the same age endpoints.
dmi
dry matter intake The amount of feed an animal consumes per day on a moisture-free basis.
adg average daily gain The average amount of weight an animal will gain each day during the feeding period. f/g feed to gain ratio
or feed conversion ratio is the measurement of converting feed into pounds or the amount of feed needed to produce a pound of gain.
rfi residual feed intake is a measure of feed efficiency calculated as the difference between and animal’s actual feed intake and its predicted feed intake fa foot angle Foot angle is measured as the degree of angularity from the toe and the base of the hoof to the base of the coronary band. Heel depth plays a significant role in hoof angle. Foot scores are given by a third-party evaluator. cs claw set Claw set is described as the relative size and curvature of the lateral and medial claw on an individual hoof where the distance between claws serves to indicate the level of divergence. Foot scores are given by a third-party evaluator. fs frame score Represents differences in height at the same age and is adjusted to one year of age. doc docility Docility EPD and Docility scores 1 to 5 score with 1 being docile and 5 being aggressive. Scores are given by a third-party evaluator. pa progressive ataxia Progressive ataxia (PA) of Charolais cattle is an inherited neurodegenerative disease affecting the hind limbs that can gradually progress until the affected animal is unable to stand. Catalog Designations - PAF = PA Free, PAC PA Carrier, N/T = Not Tested.
