CONTEMPORARY GROUPING With the addition of the Growsafe® feeders and new pen configuration at the TFET test station, new ratio and indexing formulas have been put in place to best assess a bull’s performance. For the 2024/2025 test, growth performance ratios are based WITHIN breed across the entire barn. Feed efficiency, however, is ratio’d within GRP; A or B. The justification for this is animal size at testing and weather. Test Index = .35(ADG BREED Ratio) + .35(WDA BREED Ratio)+.3(Feed Efficiency PEN Ratio) Bulls with less than 8 in their breed, do not have ratio values. Only bulls testing in the top 85%tile will be sold. Percentile Rankings All breed associations compile annual data to create breed average EPD values for each trait they measure. The average value effectively represents a percentile of 50%. A bull’s EPD values are ranked within the range of EPD values of a particular trait and are expressed as a percentile. For example, if the breed average in the Angus breed for Weaning Weight (WW) is +63, and the individual bull’s EPD for WW is +81, his ranking is in the top 10% of the breed. NOTE: EPD values are independent within breed and should not be cross referenced with other breeds. Table 1 demonstrates the current average EPD values for each breed represented in the sale, along with EPD values that rank in the top 10% within the breed. In the catalog you will find the percentile ranking next to each presented EPD for each bull.
