EPDs, (expected progeny difference) the prediction of how one animals offspring should perform in comparison to an - other’s. Example: Bull A has a BW EPD of 3.0 and Bull B has a BW EPD of 1.5. We would expect Bull A to sire calves 1.5 pounds heavier than Bull B (3.0 minus 1.5) Genomic DNA Scores, this is a percentile ranking of how an animal compares against the entire DNA database of An - gus cattle. All scores would be considered more favorable the lower they are. Example: Bull A has a YW DNA Score of 5. This means he ranks in the best 5% of the Angus breed for DNA. Carcass Weight EPD (CW), the difference in pounds of hot carcass weight. Marbling EPD (Marb), the difference in USDA marbling score of a sire’s progeny. Ribeye Area EPD (RE), expressed in square inches, is a pre‑ dictor of the difference in ribeye area of a sire’s progeny. Beef Value ($W), provides the expected dollar-per-head dif‑ ference in future progeny preweaning performance from birth to weaning. Overtime, increased selection pressure on $W will increase weaning and yearling weight traits. EPDs directly in‑ fluencing $W include: BW, WW, MW. Beef Value ($B), a terminal index value expressed in dollars per carcass, to predict profitability differences in progeny due to genetics for postweaning and carcass traits. Traits included in this index are as follows: YW, DMI, Marb, CW, RE and Fat. Combined Value ($C), expressed in dollars per head, is an index which includes all traits that make up both Maternal Weaned Calf Value ($M) and Beef Value ($B). EPDs directly in‑ fluencing a combined index are CED, CEM, WW, YW, MILK, HP, DOC, MW, Angle, Claw, DMI, Marb, CW, RE and Fat.

Calving Ease Direct (CED), is expressed as a difference in per ‑ centage of unassisted births, with a higher value indicating great ‑ er calving ease in first-calf heifers. Birth Weight EPD (BW) , expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit birth weight to his progeny. Weaning Weight EPD (WW) , expressed in pounds, is a predic‑ tor of a sire’s ability to transmit weaning growth in his progeny. Yearling Weight EPD (YW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit yearling growth to his progeny Heifer Pregnancy (HP), is a selection tool to increase the prob ‑ ability or chance of a sire’s daughters becoming pregnant. Maternal Milk EPD (Milk), the part of the calf’s weaning weight attributed to milk and mothering ability. Mature Weight (MW), expressed in pounds in a predictor of the difference of mature weight of daughters of a sire compare to the daughters of other sires. Maternal Weaned Calf Value ($M), expressed in dollars per head, predicts profitability differences from conception to wean ‑ ing with the underlying breeding objective assuming that individ ‑ uals retain their own replacement females within herd and sell the rest of the cull female and all male progeny as feeder calves. Traits included are as follows: CED, CEM, WW, MILK, HP, Doc, MW, claw set and foot angle.
