EPD and
Performance Trait Leaders
Commercial cattlemen now have the most powerful Beefmaster selection tools at their
fingertips. The release of $T Terminal Index and $M Maternal Index now allows com-
mercial cattlemen to target their bull selections to achieve specific production goals.
The $T index is designed to assist buyers in selecting range bulls that will excel in live
performance, feed yard and value adding, grid driving carcass traits. $T is the ideal tool
for the retained ownership rancher or commercial cow herds that are aligned with
supply chains that demand added performance, efficiency and carcass merit.
The $M maternal index is best explained as the dollar profit per cow exposed due to calf weaning weight accounting for costs associated with
cow maintenance. $M is another tool that will help ranchers leverage heterosis to produce more productive replacement females.
It is important for ranchers to know the difference between these two indices. $T will help cattlemen select for high performing, fast growing
genetics that by their very nature tend to be large, faster growing animals. $M should be used if a rancher is producing replacement females
and is concerned with fertility, cow maintenance and associated costs, while adding weaning weight to the calf crop.
