Prime Maternal Sale Catalog Data:
$Profit - Nearly every trait that impacts profit. Revenue Traits: • Calving Ease = More Calves • Weaning & Yearling EPD = More pay-weight • Days to Conception = more lbs and more calves • Carcass Weight = worth more up to 1050 lbs. • Marbling = valued based on grid premiums • Ribeye area = value as impacts Yield Grade • % Retail Product = more yield is more meat Cost Traits: • Cow Mature Size = in general, bigger eats more • Cow intake = increased feed intake/increased costs • Feed Efficiency = cost of Gain • Carcass Weight = worth less over 1050 lbs. • Marbling = valued based on grid premiums $Ranch - Cow/Calf Profit Index for producers who sell calves at weaning and want to optimize pounds of calf produced per acre. $Feeder - Post-weaning Index includes traits that impact profitability in the growing, finishing and carcass phases of the beef supply chain.

FERT (Cow Fertility) Predicts differences in the number of calves produced by bulls' daughters by the time they reach the age of 8 years. Daughters from a bull with a 2.0 FERT EPD would be expected to produce on average, one more calf by the time they reach 8 years of age than daughters from a bull with a 1.0 FERT EPD.
Feed:Gain (F:G) EPD that predicts differences in the amount of feed an animal’s progeny will consume to produce one pound of gain. EXAMPLE:
GridMaster - Newly formulated Red Angus Index that Predicts profitability in the feedlot and carcass phases.
Bull A = -.50 F:G EPD Bull B = 0.0 F:G EPD
We’d expect Bull A’s progeny to consume 1/2 pound less feed per pound of gain.
Breeding/Calf at Side Data - Describes service sire and due dates for bred females or tattoo, sex, date of birth and sire for baby calves at the side of fall calving cows.
We understand the expense side of the Beef Industry’s Profit equation... For over two decades we’ve partnered with R.A. Brown Ranch to test Cedar Hill genetics in some of the largest and most progressive cow/calf operations in the Southern Plains and throughout the Gulf Coast regions. That
relationship has provided opportunities to have our sires enrolled in structured progeny carcass tests, collection of feed intake data, foot and docility scores and utilization of $Profit economic selection indices and Feed Efficiency EPDs. This commitment to measuring all economically relevant traits combined with feedback from such great ranchers ensures that our Red Angus are meeting customers’ phenotypic demands while meet- ing their genetic goals.
