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.
CE Direct
(CED) is a measure of the ease at which a
bulls’ calves will be born.
CE Maternal
(CEM) measures the calving ease of the
daughters’ of a sire.
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.
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 University of
Georgia and are part of a program called the National
Cattle Evaluation (NCE).
