Dams of Distinction The AICA's dam of distinction Program recognizes dams that have consistently weaned calves with above average weaning weights and have been regular producers with 380 days or less calving intervals. Since 2009 in the Doll herd. Sterling Dams of Distinction: Must have produced three calves by the time they are five years old. . . . . . . . . . . . . . ............... Dolls have 139 dams Diamond Dam of Distinction: Must have produced seven calves by the time they are nine years old.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . ............... Dolls have 31 dams For both awards, the calving interval must be 380 days or less. Also, all calves must be weaning weight ratios of 101 or higher of the dam’s average progeny weaning ratio must be 106 or higher for dams with one calf below average for weaning ratio.
Terminal Sire Index The AICA Terminal Sire Index (TSI) utilizes economic and management descriptions of your ranching operation, along with EPD on available Charolais bulls to assist in identifying the most profitable sires for your unique operation. Using economic selection index theory, this tool will generate dollar indexes per terminal progeny produced on bulls in the AICA database, ranking them for profit potential given the inputs you provide. The dollar indexes are to be interpreted much like single trait EPD. For example, if sire A’s index is $191.66 and sire B’s index is $200.00, then we would expect Sire B’s offspring to average $8.34 more net return ($200.00 - $191.66) than sire A’s offspring. Sire Listing Criteria For bulls to have a Terminal Sire Index they must be registered with the American-International Charolais Association. Each bull must also have an EPD for CED, WWT, YWT, MAT, REA, HCW, MARB and FAT. Progeny Proven Sires Must have sired at least 3 calves with performance data reported to AICA within the last two years and an accuracy value of .30 or higher. Terminal Sire Index (TSI) The AICA Terminal Sire Index (TSI) is a formal method of combing Expected Progeny Differences (EPD) - BWT, WWT, YWT, REA, HCW, MARB and FAT - into one single value on which to base selection decisions. The TSI uses estimates of the genetic relationships between traits with an economic default value based on three year rolling USDA data.
