Professor is a moderate framed, polled bull with great shape and volume. We have used him extensively in the Copper Creek herd and have retained several of his 2016 progeny. His first calves had moderate to low birthweights. Professor’s sire, the popular Mr. Hereford 11X, is now deceased, making his semen more scarce. His granddam, Remitall Ginger 23G, is one of the breed’s most influential, powerhouse females. Use Professor to add performance and muscle and pigment. In 2013, he was the only bull on the hill in Denver to have an WPD of 4.0 lbs.

Are You Prepared For Breeding Season? It’s never too early to think ahead and prepare for the upcoming breeding season. We suggest following these simple steps to save time, avoid last minute hassle and make life a little easier for yourself and the people you work and live with. • Make sure your cow herd is healthy and in good breeding condition, proper nutrition is key. • Inspect your tank and have it filled with liquid nitrogen before you order semen. • Allow enough time for shipping. It’s best to order semen at least two weeks in advance of breeding date. • Make a check list for A.I. supplies and have these items on hand in advance of breeding. • Record your work, make sure your record keeping tools are accessible so you’ll be sure to use them.

Canadian Hereford Association EPDs

Calving Ease EPD and Accuracy Calving Ease EPDs are calculated using birth weight and calving ease score information. Calving ease EPDs represent the ease with which progeny of an animal are born to first calf heifers. The EPD is expressed as a percent probability, with a higher value representing calves with a higher probability of being born unassisted. Birth Weight EPD and Accuracy Birth weight is an indicator of calving ease. Higher birth weight EPDs usually indicate more calving difficulty. Weaning Weight EPD and Accuracy The weaning EPD reflects progeny growth differences up to 205 days of age. Yearling Weight EPD and Accuracy The yearling EPD reflects progeny growth differences through to 365 days of age. Milk EPD and Accuracy The milk EPD indicates the ability of a sire’s daughters to provide their calves with an environment that encourages growth from birth to weaning, through mothering ability and milk production. This EPD is expressed in the expected difference in pounds of calf at weaning. Total Maternal EPD Also known as Milk + Growth, this EPD combines the milk EPD plus ½ the weaning weight EPD. It is expressed in pounds of calf weaned at 205 days and combines the genetics for pre-weaning growth and the influence of the maternal environment on the weaning weight of the daughter’s progeny. Maternal Calving Ease EPD and Accuracy Maternal Calving Ease EPD represents the ease with which a sire’s daughters will calve as first calf heifers, when compared to daughters of other sires. The EPD is expressed as a percent probability, with a higher value representing daughters with a higher probability of unassisted calving.

Scrotal Circumference EPD and Accuracy The Scrotal Circumference EPD reflects differences in scrotal measurements, taken in centimeters and adjusted to 365 days of age. The SC EPD is positively associated with age at puberty of progeny. Cow WT EPD and Accuracy The Cow WT EPD reflects differences in the mature weight of a sire’s daughters. This is important as it is related to maintenance energy requirements. Stayability EPD and Accuracy The Stay EPD reflects differences in the probability that a sire’s daughters will remain in production to produce 3 consecutive calves when retained as breeding heifers. Maternal Productivity Index and Accuracy MPI combines the traits of weaning weight, milk, cow weight and stayability based on their relative economic importance, and then ranks animals based on the predicted maternal strength of their progeny within the population. Feedlot Merit Index and Accuracy FMI combines the traits of calving ease, weaning weight, yearling weight, ribeye area, marbling and fat based on their relative economic importance, and then ranks animals based on the predicted profitability of their feeder progeny within the population. REA EPD and Accuracy The REA EPD reflects differences in rib-eye area carcass measures in feeder progeny. Fat EPD and Accuracy The Fat EPD reflects differences in carcass backfat measures in feeder progeny. Marbling Fat EPD and Accuracy The MARB EPD reflects differences in carcass measures of marbling in feeder progeny, using USDA marbling scores.
