DATA KEY Please make note that many of the animals were in different contemporary groupings at weaning; therefore it is not fair to compare birth, weaning and yearling weights from one herd to another.

EPDs Expected Progeny Difference (EPDs) is the best estimate of an animals genetic merit for a particular trait. It takes into account the animals own performance compared with its contemporaries and the performance of its relatives com- pared against their contemporaries. Calving Ease (CE) Generally represent fewer unassisted births. Higher the number the better. Birth Weight (BW) EPD Predicts calf size compared to other sires. The lower the number the smaller the calf. Weaning Weight (WW) EPD Predicts overall growth potential from birth to Weaning. Higher the number the better. Yearling Weight (YW) The EPD predicts overall growth potential. Higher the number the better.
through milk production and other envi- ronmental factors.
Feed Efficiency Index ($FE) Balances post weaning growth (the growth from weaning to yearling) with the RFI EPD. This index is designed to select for an- imals that excel in feed efficiency and post weaning growth. Test Data Weight Per Day of Age (WDA) The ani - mals Weight Divided their days of age at that date.
Scrotal Size (SC) Actual scrotal circum- ference records, in centimeters, are ad- justed for age of bull 365-days. Ribeye Area (REA) Ultrasound scanning measurement of rib eye area. The EPD is a prediction of Total Muscle. Intramuscular Fat (IMF) Measured using ultrasound scan technology. IMF is high- ly correlated to marbling Indexes Terminal Index ($T) is designed to be used when bulls are mated to cows in a strictly terminal system. The EPDs that are used in the calculation of $T are YW, REA, IMF and Fat. Maternal Index ($M) is designed to bal - ance weaning weight with cow mainte- nance and fertility. The index includes the EPDs for BW, WW, Milk, YW and SC.
Average Daily Gain (ADG) Average Daily gain over the test.
Current Weight (CURRENT WT) Weight taken prior to catalog being printed. Ap- proximately 40 day before sale. Fleshing Ability (FLESHING) The natural Ability for the animal to maintain condi- tion in a working environment. Graded from 1-5. 5 being the best.
Milk (MK) Predicts the maternal con- tribution to weaning weight of the calf
