Weaned Calf Value ($W):
an index expressed
in dollars per head, is the expected average
difference in future progeny performance
for preweaning merit. $W includes both rev-
enue and cost adjustments associated with
differences in birth weight, weaning direct growth, maternal milk, and mature cow
size.
Feedlot Value ($F):
an index expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average
difference in future progeny performance for postweaning performance compared to
progeny of other sires.
Grid Value ($G):
an index expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average dif-
ference in future progeny performance for carcass grid merit compared to progeny
of other sires.
Beef Value ($B):
an index expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average dif-
ference in future progeny performance for postweaning and carcass value compared
to progeny of other sires. The $B value combines the contributions of $F and $G.
American Angus $Values Indexes
Simmental Indexes
All-Purpose Index (API):
Evaluates sires for
use on the entire cow herd (bred to both
Angus first-calf heifers and mature cows)
with the portion of their daughters required
to maintain herd size retained and the
remaining heifers and steers put on feed
and sold grade and yield.
Terminal Index (TI):
Evaluates sires for use
on mature Angus cows with all offspring put
on feed and sold grade and yield.
Using API and TI:
First, determine which
index to use; if you are keeping replace-
ments use API, if not, use TI. Then, just as
with EPDs, zero in on the unit difference
between bulls. (As described above, index
units are in dollars per cow exposed.) The
difference can be used to determine how
much a bull is worth compared to another.
Put another way, how much you can pay for
one bull compared to another. For example,
when buying an all-purpose-type sire, you
can quickly figure a bull scoring +100 for
API is worth an extra $6,000 over a +50
bull if both are exposed to 30 cows over 4
years ($50 diff. x 30 hd. x 4 yr. = $6,000). A
percentile ranking chart is required to deter-
mine where a bull’s index value ranks him
relative to other bulls in the breed.
Current Average Sim Hybrid API index is
107 and TI is 62.
$Values
are multi-trait indexes expressed in dollars per head, to assist commercial
beef producers by adding simplicity to genetic selection decisions. A $Value has mean-
ing only when used in comparison to the $Value of another animal. For example, just
as with EPDs, variation in $Values between animals indicates average expected differ-
ences in the relative value of progeny if random mating is assumed and the calves are
exposed to the same environment.
How do I use them?
$Values should be used to complement the criteria that producers already use when
selecting bulls.
The $Values are not designed to be driven by a single trait, as an index is multi-trait
by design. These selection tools are the result of the application of industry-relevant
market values to Angus genetics for preweaning, feedlot, and carcass merit.
The $W, $F, $G and $B values on individual animals and the Sire Evaluation Report may
be viewed at www.angus.org.
