Improved Buying Confidence with Greater Genomic ASSURANCE
Access to more and better information has always been key to making wise decisions. The evolution and improvement of genetic evaluation tools too has given us an ever-clearer picture of the true genetic makeup of cattle and thus a better view of the value proposition. RightMate, powered by Top Genomics LLC is taking the evaluation of genetics and genomics one giant step further. By combining speci c genomic information with the long-proven value of EPDs, this new advancement in technology improves our depth and precision when evaluating the actual ability to transmit value and pro t.
The 3 Accreditation Logos below are designed to simplify bull selection and improve buyer con dence by more accurately describing the genetics o ered and by reducing risk. What this means to you as a customer is a much greater assurance that you are getting both what you want and need from the genetics you purchase. What it means to your seedstock provider is access to RightMate technology that simply sets them apart from the rest of the industry.
ACCREDITED GENOMIC
ACCREDITED TERMINAL
MATE – Just like an ATM machine makes it simpler to access your cash, the ATM Logo highlights bulls accredited to generate extra cash income as soon as your next calf crop! These bulls are meant speci cally to use only on mature cows and for the purpose of adding performance, pay weight and end product value to market.
PLUS – For the majority of producers who simply need consistent and balanced genetic improvement, without genomic setbacks, G+ Accredited bulls should be on your list for premium purchase. These sires will absolutely move you forward for both cost reduction and income producing traits and substantially reduce risk when compared to all other evaluation programs. It’s simple, the right genes are in these bulls to help secure a pro table future and the they have great EPDs to match! ACCREDITED CALVING EASE – Simply nd bulls with the ACE logo for third party Accredited, secure Calving Ease bulls. Though we have had tools in the past to assist in choosing heifer bulls, we’ve never had one nearly this e ective. The reduced risk that comes with this
genomic certi cation will simply make your decisions easier and your heifer calving season more successful. Purchase special purpose ACE bulls with con dence. They will deliver consistent and predictable calving ease.
CUTTING EDGE GENOMIC TECHNOLOGY
RightChoice and RightMate Powered by Top Genomics - Better, Stronger, Faster..
Genetic providers have used strong genetic prediction tools like EPDs for making, then offering customers consistent genetic progress for a long time. Improved EPDs, bolstered by the inclusion of genomic evaluation have made the potential for more profitable cattle and better beef even greater in the past few years. Now there are RightMate and RightChoice. These improved technologies combine advanced knowledge of high impact genomics with the database proven power of EPDs. The results, are proving to be greatly accelerated genetic improvement capability with the added benefit of profit enhancing uniformity. Maybe the best news for customers is that despite the sophistication of the technology, these tools are simple to use. With both great power and needed simplicity RightMate and RightChoice are poised to change the way we both improve and market genetics.
For breeders and those wishing to get the most from every mating, RightMate is the most impactful and powerful option. Take the guesswork out of progress by using genomically prescribed matings and just as importantly avoid those with a low probability of success. The technology is ready and the validation is strong. Simply define the direction of your breeding objectives, even female by female and RightMate will help you get there faster than any tool used in the past. We’ve all known for a long time that certain cows just need to be mated to certain bulls. RightMate helps take the guesswork and the trial and error out. Finding the right mating, the first time makes all of the difference.
Better matings result in more improvement and more potential profit for commercial customers too. That should be the goal of every seedstock provider. Commercial customers however, need to be able to source genetics that fit their production systems and goals quickly and easily. That is where RightChoice comes in. With 20 or more EPD categories, overwhelming amounts of raw data and multiple index offerings to evaluate in a short time, the potential to use selection information to its best result has been possible, but difficult for commercial producers. RightChoice is designed as a simple to use sorting tool for selection of new sires or females all based on commercial genetic needs and production goals. The sophisticated technology is on the inside of RightChoice with easy to use Logos for sorting as the published and effective result. All you need to do is evaluate and pick the bulls you like from the group with the RightMate genetic logo that fits your needs.
RightChoice technology will not only push value and profit traits forward. Because of the way it sorts sires, it can reduce variation and inconsistency in your calf crop as well. For example, with ACE logo bulls, not only can you expect reduced dystocia, but the birth weights responsible for most of the challenges will be less variable. That means more calves born close to the average for weight and far fewer extreme calves that either create issues for your heifers or are unreasonably small. With smart RightMate selections, uniformity of calf crop continues to marketing and even replacement females, creating more profit all the way through. We can’t always control the genes present in the cow herd, but we can make sure your seedstock purchase will help you get the most progress moving forward.
RightMate and RightChoice…Better, Stronger, Faster.

2025 HYBRID PERCENTILE TABLE
ASA QUICK REFERENCE TO EPDS, INDEXES AND $VALUES
EXPECTED PROGENY DIFFERENCES (EPDS): EPDs are the most accurate and effective tool available for comparing genetic levels. In using EPDs, the difference between two sires’ EPDs represents the unit difference expected in the performance of their progeny. For example, if sires A and B have EPDs of +10 and -5, a 15-unit difference would be expected in their progeny (moving from -5 to +10 yields 15 units). Key to using EPDs is knowing in what units they are expressed. For example, if the above case referred to weaning weight EPDs, sire A would be expected to sire 15 pounds more weaning weight than sire B. If calving ease was the trait, sire A would be expected to sire 15 percent more unassisted births in first-calf heifers; in other words, if sire B sired 30 assists in a group of 100 heifers, we would expect sire A to require 15 assists. A percentile-ranking chart is required to determine where a bull’s EPDs rank him relative to other bulls in the breed. For more detailed information about EPDs and $ indexes, visit www.simmental.org.
Listed below are the units in which ASA EPDs are expressed:
ALL-PURPOSE INDEX (API): Dollars per cow exposed under an all-purpose-sire scenario. (See $ Indexes for more details.)
BACK FAT (BF): Inches of carcass backfat at 475 days.
BIRTH WEIGHT (BW): Pounds of birth weight.
CALVING EASE (CE): Percent of unassisted births when used on heifers.
CARCASS WEIGHT (CW): Pounds of carcass weight at 475 days.
STAYABILITY (STAY): Percent of daughters remaining in the cowherd at 6 years of age.
DOCILITY (DOC): Percent of offspring receiving a disposition score of 1 (docile).
MATERNAL CALVING EASE (MCE): Percent of unassisted births in first-calving daughters.
MILK (MLK): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk.
MARBLING (MARB): Carcass marbling score at 475 days.
MATERNAL WEANING WEIGHT (MWW): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk and growth.
RIBEYE AREA (REA): Square inches of carcass ribeye at 475 days.
TERMINAL INDEX (TI): Dollars per cow exposed under a terminal-sire scenario. (See TI for more details.)
WEANING WEIGHT (WW): Pounds of weaning weight.
YEARLING WEIGHT (YW): Pounds of yearling weight.
YIELD GRADE (YG): Carcass yield grade score at 475 days.
$ INDEXES: Though EPDs allow for the comparison of genetic levels for many economically important traits, they only provide pieces of the economic puzzle. This is where $ indexes come in. Through well-conceived, rigorous mathematical computation, $ indexes blend EPDs and economics to estimate an animal’s overall impact on integrated commercial production. The same technology that led to the dramatic progress in swine, poultry and dairy genetics over the last several decades was used to develop the following $ indexes:
ALL -PURPOSE INDEX (API): Evaluates sires for use on the entire cow herd (bred to both Angus first-calf heifers and mature cows) with the portion of their daughters required to maintain herd size retained and the remaining heifers and steers put on feed and sold grade and yield.
TERMINAL INDEX (TI): Evaluates sires for use on mature Angus cows with all offspring put on feed and sold grade and yield.
USING API AND TI: First, determine which index to use; if you are keeping replacements use API, if not, use TI. Then, just as with EPDs, zero in on the unit difference between bulls. (As described above, index units are in dollars per cow exposed.) The difference can be used to determine how much a bull is worth compared to another. Put another way, how much you can pay for one bull compared to another. For example, when buying an all-purpose-type sire, you can quickly figure a bull scoring +100 for API is worth an extra $6,000 over a +50 bull if both are exposed to 30 cows over 4 years ($50 diff. x 30 hd. x 4 yr.=$6,000). A percentile-ranking chart is required to determine where a bull’s index value ranks him relative to other bulls in the breed.
For more detailed information about EPDs and $indexes, visit: www.simmental.org Important disclaimer: DO NOT compare index values of purebreds of different breeds, hybrids of different breed composition or purebreds with hybrids - our system was not developed to make valid comparison among these groups. Therefore, you must first determine the breed and breed composition appropriate for your herd and use index values to compare animals within that population.
