Understanding the AgBoost™ Score The AgBoost Score is a simple way to summarize an animal’s overall genetic potential based on DNA testing. It combines multiple economically important traits into a single easy-to- understand score. Rather than focusing on one extreme trait, the AgBoost Score highlights cattle with balanced genetics that perform across the board —the kind that stay productive and profitable in real commercial environments.
How to Read the Score Score Range What It Means 8–10
Elite genetics with strong overall performance potential Above-average genetics with balanced trait performance Average genetic profile typical of the population Below-average genetics for the measured traits
6–7.9 4–5.9
Below 4
Traits Included in the Score The AgBoost Score reflects DNA markers associated with key production traits such as: • Growth and performance
• Maternal ability • Carcass quality • Feed efficiency • Structural and functional longevity
Why It Matters The AgBoost Score helps producers quickly compare bulls and identify animals with the genetic balance needed to produce profitable calves and durable replacement females. Higher scores generally indicate cattle with stronger overall genetic potential. Every bull in this sale has been evaluated with AgBoost genetic analysis , giving buyers an additional level of confidence when selecting herd sires. When you buy a bull backed by AgBoost, you're not just buying a pedigree— you’re investing in proven genetic potential .
