Performance
Please make note that the many of the animals were in different contemporary groupings at weaning; therefore, it is
not fair to compare birth, weaning and yearling weights from one herd to another.

EPDs
Expected Progeny Difference
(EPDs) is the
best estimate of an animal’s genetic merit for
a particular trait. It takes into account the
animals’ own performance compared with its
contemporaries and the performance of its
relatives compared against their contemporaries.
Birth Weight (BW)
EPD predicts
calf size and calving ease.
Weaning Weight (WW)
EPD predicts
preweaning growth potential.
Yearling Weight (YW)
EPD predicts overall
growth potential.
Milk EPD
predicts the maternal contribution
to weaning weight of the calf through milk
production, behavior, immunity and other
maternal environmental factors.
Total Maternal (TM) also, called M&G
EPD
predicts weaning weight of calves from a bull’s
daughters.
Scrotal Circumference (SC)
EPD predicts
testicular size in puberty.
ULTRASOUND EPDs
Ribeye Area (REA)
EPD predicts total muscle.
Intramuscular Fat (IMF)
EPD predicts % of
intramuscular fat which is highly correlated to
marbling.
Rib Fat Thickness (FT)
EPD predicts external
fat thickness.
*REA and FT are primary components of USDA
YG and marbling is the primary component of
USDA QG.
PERFORMANCE
Individual performance data is provided as
supplementary information as EPDs provide
more reliable evaluation of genetics differences
of animals.
Actual Birth Weight (BW)
are reported.
Weaning Weight (WW)
are adjusted to 205
days.
Yearling Weight (YW)
are adjusted to 365 days.
Scrotal Circumference (SC)
is adjusted to 365
Average Daily Gain (ADG)
is a measure of
growth rate on a high energy diet. It is positively
associated with feed efficiency.
Ribeye Areas (REA)
are adjusted to 365 days
and ratioed relative to contemporaries.
Intramuscular Fats (IMF)
are adjusted to 365
days and ratioed relative to contemporaries. IMF
is highly correlated to marbling.
Fat Thickness (FT)
is adjusted to 365 days and
ratioed relative to contemporaries.
Brangus EPDs are calculated by the Livestock
Genetic Services and are part of a program
called the National Cattle Evaluation (NCE).

Genomically Enhanced EPD’s
Sire parentage has been verified and GE-EPD’s will be available May 1
st
.
We have noted with a GGPLD symbol those bulls
who have GE-EPD’s and with a GGP those that are
tested but were not Genomically Enhanced on the
last EPD run. A number of the bulls that are listed
with GGP should have been Genomically Enhanced
on the last run but were missed. In an effort to
supply you with the most current information
available we intend to have as many of these
bulls updated to GE- EPD’s as possible by sale
day and will have them available for you on our
supplement sheet.
