HOW DOES A GENOMIC TEST
BENEFIT OUR CUSTOMERS? We have been doing Genomic testing here at LRS for years and taking advantage of all the programs available through the American Simmental Association. Our entire cowherd and every calf born here gets a genomic test – even the culls. Every bull that sells has genomically enhanced EPD’s. This does not replace phenotypic data, it enhances it. We still collect all the phenotypic traits that we can: Birthweight, Calving ease, weaning weights, yearling weights, Mature Cow weights every fall, Body condition scores, individual carcass data. The phenotypic data is irreplaceable and essential to work hand in hand with the DNA samples to enhance their EPD’s. How does it benefit you: It creates a more accurate prediction with a higher accuracy EPD because it combines not only the animals phenotypic data (BW, CE, WW, YW etc..) and pedigree, but also takes into account what gene markers the animal has that science has proven to affect certain traits. It also provides parentage verification so you can be assured the parentage is right. It is like getting an entire calf crop worth of information for bulls, before they even breed a cow.
