Multi-breed EPD base simplifies selection
Since 2010, the Red Angus Association of America (RAAA)
and the American Simmental Association (ASA) have com-
bined their growth and carcass datasets to provide commer-
cial producers with the most reliable EPDs in the beef industry.
In the summer of 2012, RAAA and ASA adopted a common
base for Growth (BW, WW, YW, Milk) and Carcass (MARB,
YG, CW, REA, FAT) EPDs so that all animals registered in
either RAAA or ASA can be directly compared – regardless of
breed makeup.
What is BASE?
For decades, each breed association has presented EPDs in
their own language (the base). Base is no more than a refer-
ence point for any trait against which subsequent generations
of animals are compared. The establishment of a base en-
sures that the population future generations are compared to
remains stable, which allows the breedʼs genetic trend to be
accurately identified.
Raw Genetic Value + Base Adjustment = Published EPD
Study Percentile Ranks…
Percentile ranks are an easy reference and therefore a pow-
erful tool to assist you in becoming accustomed to the new
multi-breed base. Red Angus EPD percentile ranks are pre-
sented along with all active animalsʼ EPDs, and reference
how animals compare within their respective Red Angus sub-
populations, i.e. Sire Summary Sires, Active Dams, Non-Par-
ent Bulls, etc. Itʼs important to realize that although the multi-
breed base allows for the direct comparison of Red Angus and
Simmental EPDs, the percent ranks for Red Angus animals
will continue to simply compare the genetics of Red Angus
animals against other Red Angus. Thus, an animal that was in
the top 10% for growth under the old Red Angus base will still
be in the top 10% for growth in the new Red Angus multi-
breed base.
Example:
In the past, you preferred to purchase bulls that had a -2.0 or
lower BW EPD.
Since a -2.0 on the old RAAA base represented the top 20%
for BW, you now need to use -2.7 as your critical selection
threshold as that represents the top 20% for BW on the new
multi-breed base.
