Expected Progeny Differences (EPD) EPD values published in this catalog are current as of March 11, 2025. Both the American Hereford Association and the Red Angus Association of America update their EPD values weekly. You can check on the respective websites for the most up to date EPD values. Many of the cattle offered in this sale have genomically enhanced EPD values. This means the consignors sent into their respective breed associations a DNA sample for individual cattle. This information is added to the actual performance and pedigree information to predict the EPD values. Genomically enhanced EPD values have higher accuracy values for those individuals with no progeny compared to individuals with no progeny and no DNA sample.
The AHA GE-EPD logo indicates the Hereford bull or female has genomically enhanced EPD values. The GGP logo indicates the Red Angus bull or female has genomically enhanced EPD values.
Effective EPD use is to compare EPD values to another individual of the same breed or to the breed average for a particular trait. Taking the difference between the EPD values will indicate the difference in performance you can expect between individuals or between the individual and the average of the breed. The difference is expressed in the standard unit for the trait (weight, inches, centimeters, square inches, etc.). The current average EPD values for Red Angus and Hereford cattle are as follows:
