$Values
are multi-trait selection 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 $Values
between animals indicates average expected differences in
the relative value of progeny if random mating is assumed
and the calves are exposed to the same environment.
Weaned Calf Value ($W):
an index expressed in dollars per
head, is the expected average difference in future progeny
performance for preweaning merit. $W includes both revenue
and cost adjustments associated with differences in birth
weight, weaning direct growth, maternal milk, and mature cow
size.
Feedlot Value ($F):
an index expressed in dollars per head, is
the expected average difference in future progeny perform-
ance for postweaning performance compared to progeny of
other sires.
Grid Value ($G):
an index expressed in dollars per head, is
the expected average difference in future progeny perform-
ance for carcass grid merit compared to progeny of other
sires.
Beef Value ($B):
an index expressed in dollars per head, is
the expected average difference in future progeny perform-
ance for postweaning and carcass value compared to progeny
of other sires. The $B value combines the contributions of $F
and $G.
$Value Indexes
$Values should be used to complement the criteria that pro-
ducers 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 val-
ues 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
