Registration Number:
Bulls noted with “R” number are Registered Brangus.
Those noted with a “UB” number are Ultra-Blacks, indicating they are a Bran-
gus-Angus blend. “AX” recorded bulls are appendix registered purebred Brangus
that have non-typical Brangus color pattern. Bulls noted with “C” are Certified
and are 1/4 Brahman and 3/4 Angus blended.
Genetic Condition:
All animals are considered pedigree free or tested free of
current known genetic conditions unless noted as a carrier with a “C” in the
given prefix (i.e. DDC or CAC). A carrier designation indicates that given animal is
a carrier of a recessive gene and is heterozygous for that condition.
Polled/Scurs:
Denotes bulls that are either smooth polled or have the presence
of scurs or slick spots. Those bulls noted as “scurs” typically have had scurs
removed post-weaning.
Summit Cow or Summit Sire:
Are noted in pedigrees with the word Summit or
the abbreviation (SC or SS). Initially, must maintain a calving interval of 380 days
or less, weaning at least 3 calves. The weaning weight ratio for all calves must
average at least 105%. Once a Summit Cow has earned her distinction she will
always be noted as such. A sire is given Summit status once he has at least 5
daughters reach Summit Cow status
Ultrasound
Ribeye Area (REA):
In square in. and used as a predictor of ribeye size.
Ribeye Area per 100 lbs. Body Weight (RE/100):
Ribeye area expressed in
square inches and based on ribeye per 100 lbs body weight at yearling time.
Fat (FAT):
Measured in inches and adjusted to 365 days.
Intramuscular Fat (IMF):
Measured as a percentage and used as a predictor
of genetic marbling value.
Individual Performance
Birth Weight (BW):
ACTUAL
weight at birth, expressed in pounds.
Weaning Weight (205):
Weaning weight adjusted to a constant 205 days. Takes
into account differences in days of age at weaning and age of dam .
Weaning Weight (Ratio):
A direct comparison of an individual to all other indi-
viduals in its weaning contemporary group. Expressed as a percentage with 100
being the average for the group.
Yearling Weight (365):
Yearling weight adjusted to a constant 365 days. Takes
into account differences in days of age at yearling time, average daily gain
post-weaning, and adjusted 205 weight.
Yearling Weight (Ratio):
A direct comparison of an individual to all other indi-
viduals in its yearling contemporary group. Expressed as a percentage with 100
being the average for the group.
Scrotal Circumference (SC):
Testicular circumference, measured in centime-
ters, and adjusted to 365 days of age.
Weaning or Yearling Weight Per Day of Age (WWDA and YWDA):
In pounds
and calculated by dividing the actual weaning or yearling yearling weight taken
on weigh day by the number of days of age on weigh day.
Generation
Generation:
Denotes the number of generations a Registered Brangus animal
is from being produced by mating Enrolled or Percentage Brahman and Angus
genetics to produce the first blend of 3/8 Brahman and 5/8 Angus. A first gen-
eration Brangus will have a designation of “1” and be the first mating to achieve
a recorded 3/8 x 5/8 blend of Angus and Brahman. Those animals given a “2”
will be two generations removed from those blended or enrolled parents, etc.
Those animals given a UB1 designation are Ultrablack animals and are the re-
sult of blending a Registered Brangus with an Enrolled Angus. Those animals
given a UB2 status are also Ultrablacks and the result of blending a UB1 with a
Registered Brangus. Please note when a UB2 animal is mated to a registered
Brangus the resulting offspring will be given an R in their recording number and
be considered as a “Registered” animal rather than an Ultrablack.
Expected Progeny Difference
Expected Progeny Difference (EPD):
The genetic predictor of how future prog-
eny of each animal are expected to perform relative to the progeny of other
animals listed in the breed database.
EPD Accuracy:
Since all bulls in this catalog are non-parents, their accuracies
are the lowest calculated by our national sire evaluation program. Every EPD re-
ported is either current or an interim EPD. An EPD noted with a “P” is a pedigree
EPD which is the average of the parent’s EPDs.
Birth Weight EPD (BW):
In pounds, predicts calf size and calving ease.
Weaning Weight EPD (WW):
Expressed in pounds, is a predictor of an animal’s
ability to transmit weaning growth to its progeny.
Yearling Weight EPD (YW):
Expressed in pounds, is a predictor of an animal’s
ability to transmit yearling growth to its progeny.
Milk EPD (Milk):
Predicts a sire’s genetic merit for milk and mothering ability
as expressed in his daughters compared to daughters of other sires. In other
words, it is that part of a calf’s weaning weight attributed to milk and mothering
ability.
Maternal & Growth EPD (TM):
Expressed in pounds and used as a genetic
predictor of weaning weight taken by blending a combination of maternal milk
and weaning weight EPD values.
Scrotal Circumference EPD (SC):
Measured in centimenters at yearling time,
predicts testicular size.
Maternal Calving Ease (CEM):
Predicts the average ease with which a sire’s
daughters will calve unassisted as first calf heifers when compared to daughters
of other sires and expressed as a percentage.
Ribeye Area (REA):
Expressed in square inches, is a predictor of transmitting
ability of ribeye size and overall muscle mass which is a key component in USDA
yield grades.
Intramuscular Fat (IMF):
Expressed as a percentage, is a predictor of transmit-
ting ability for marbling or intra-muscular fat correlating to USDA quality grade
at harvest time.
