$Value Index ($Value) A $Value is an economic selection index allowing for directional change in multiple traits at once pertaining to a specific breeding objective.The $Value is a collection of EPDs weighted by their economic value such that traits with greater impacts on the production goals have a larger economic weight associated with them. $Values are used in practice, like an EPD, for comparison of future progeny performance across herds within a given breed. Maternal Weaned Calf Value ($M), an index, expressed in dollars per head, predicts profitability differences from conception to weaning with the underlying breeding objective assuming that individuals 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: calving ease direct, calving ease maternal, weaning weight, milk, heifer pregnancy, teat size, udder suspension, functional longevity, docility, mature cow weight, claw set and foot angle. Beef Value ($B), a terminal index, expressed in dollars per carcass, to predict profitability differences in progeny due to genetics for postweaning and carcass traits. This terminal index assumes commercial producers wean all male and female progeny, retain ownership of these animals through the feedlot phase and market these animals on a carcass grid. Traits included in the index are as follows: yearling weight, dry-matter intake, marbling, carcass weight, ribeye area and fat. Combined Value ($C) , an index, expressed in dollars per head, which includes all traits that make up both Maternal Weaned Calf Value ($M) and Beef Value ($B) with the objective that commercial producers will replace 20% of their breeding females per year with replacement heifers retained within their own herd. The remaining cull heifer and steer progeny are then assumed to be sent to the feedlot where the producers retain ownership of those cattle and sell them on a quality-based carcass merit grid. Expected progeny differences directly influencing a combined index: calving ease direct, calving ease maternal, weaning weight, yearling weight, maternal milk, heifer pregnancy, teat size, udder suspension, functional longevity, docility, mature cow weight, foot angle, claw set, dry matter intake, marbling, carcass weight, ribeye area, and fat thickness. Weaned Calf Value ($W), an index, expressed in dollars per head, to predict profitability differences in progeny due to genetics from birth to weaning. The underlying objective being producers will retain 20% of the female progeny as replacements and sell the rest of the cull females and their male counterparts as feeder calves. Traits included are as follows (in no particular order): birth weight, weaning weight, milk, and mature cow weight. WHAT’S a ratio? In cattle, a ratio usually refers to a performance comparison (like 100 for average), indicating how one animal stacks up against its peers for traits like weight, gain, or fertility, helping breeders select top performers. A performance ratio (e.g., Weaning Ratio) shows an animal’s trait compared to the group average (100), so 110 is 10% better than average.
