EPDS – HOW TO READ THE BYERGO SALE BOOK
CED - Calving Ease Direct - This is an EPD to look at when choosing a bull for heifers. The higher the number, the easier calving the bull is. 7 and up is good for heifers. BEPD - Birth Weight EPD - A number to look at for birth weight. The lower the number, the lighter the birthweight is expected to be. We typ- ically consider any number under 2.0 fine for heifers. Bulls that are in the 2’s, 3’s, 4’s and 5’s are great for cows. Remember as a breed, Angus calve easily. The difference between a 1 and 6 is 5 lbs. at birth. Start selecting the higher BW bulls for your cows. It will make you more money. WEPD - Weaning Weight EPD - This is the EPD you look at for weaning weights. The higher the number, the better. Remember, breed average is +61. Anything above +68 is in the top 25% of the breed. Growth is a must to make this sale. YEPD - Yearling Weight EPD - This is the EPD you look at for yearling weights. The higher the number, the better. Remember, breed average is +108. We take great pride in our bulls’ growing ability. RADG - The residual average daily gain is the feed efficiency EPD we look at. We consider anything above a +.25 as being good. The higher the number the better. DMI - Dry Matter Intake, expressed in pounds per day, is a predictor of difference in transmitting ability for feed intake during the post-weaning
phase, compared to that of other sires. Anything below 1.5 is good. Lower is better. MILK - The Milk EPD is something to look at if you are retaining heifers. The higher the number, the more they are expected to milk.
CW - The carcass weight EPD. The higher the better. MARB - The marbling EPD. The higher the better.
RE - The ribeye EPD. The higher the better. Fat - The fat EPD. The lower the better. BWT - The actual birth weight. ADJ. 205 - The adjusted weaning weight. We are very proud of our power. Pounds equal money! Beef Value $B - an index value expressed in dollars per head; is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for post weaning and carcass value compared to progeny of other sires. The high- er the number the better. Feed Efficiency FE - Average Conversion for the industry is a 6.5 - Lower is better. Byergo Bulls average a 5.0.
