Spring 2016 EPD’s
Accuracies
Adjusted individual
performance data
Genomically
Enhanced EPD’s
Birth Weight (BW) EPD
predicts calf size and calving ease, if all other
extenuating conditions are held the same.
Weaning Weight (WW) EPD
predicts preweaning growth potential.
Yealing 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 at puberty.
ULTRASOUND EPDs
Ribeye Area (REA) EPD
predicts total muscle
Intramuscular Fat (IMF) EPD
predicts % of intramuscular fat which is
highly correlated to marbling.
Rib Fat Thickness (FT) EPD
predicts external fat thickness.
*REA and FT are primary components of USDA Yield Grade, and marbling
is the primary component of USDA Quality Grade.
PERFORMANCE
Individual performance data is provided as supplementary information as
EPDs provide more reliable evaluation of genetic differences of animals.
Actual Birth Weight (BW)
are reported from the producer.
Weaning Weight (WW)
are adjusted to 205 days.
Yealing Weight (YW)
are adjusted to 365 days.
Scrotal Circumference (SC)
are adjusted to 365 days.
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 Livestock Genetic Serves and are part
of a program called the National Cattle Evaluation (NCE).
WHAT ARE EPD’S?
Expected Progeny Difference (EPDs) are the best estimate of an animal’s genetic merit for a particular trait. It takes into account the animal’s own
performance, compared with it’s contemporaries and the performance of it’s relatives, compared against their contemporaries.
