How to Read the Performance Data Tattoo: The bulls have a permanent I.D. tattooed in both ears that correspond to the alphanumeric ear tags. Weights and Ratios: Actual BW weight taken within the first 24 hours of calving. The ratios for birth and weaning weights are taken from the ASA using their contemporary groups. The yearling weight and carcass ratios are figured by us in house, with all the Purebreds in one group and all the Percentage bulls in another group. We feel this gives the most easy to read information and shows how the bulls have done relative to their pen mates. SC: Scrotal Circumference measured in centimeters adjusted for age. ULTRASOUND CARCASS REA: Adjusted yearling ultrasound rib eye area. %IMF: Adjusted yearling ultrasound for estimated marbling, an indication of quality grade potential. Back Fat: Measured in hundredths of an inch.
