EPDs and percentiles are current as of March 1, 2016.
The percentile rank is the top percentile ranking of
that EPD within the bull’s respective breed (
i.e.
20% =
top 20% of breed).
Many of the sale bulls have had genomic (DNA)
analysis performed to further increase the accuracy
and reliability of their EPDs.
