We feel we have a good strong set of Red & Black yearling bulls on offer and we feel very confident that they will work in any program. We work hard to have our highest quality of herd sire prospects available for you. The bulls are developed slowly to maximize their longevity.

UNDERSTANDING EPD’S
CALVING EASE DIRECT (CE)
Percent of unassisted births of a bull’s calves when he is used on heifers. A higher number is favorable, meaning better calving ease. This EPD can be vital to a rancher looking to decrease the amount of calves pulled in his herd.
BIRTH WEIGHT (BW)
Predicts the difference, in pounds, for birth weight of the calf.
WEANING WEIGHT (WW)
Predicts the difference, in pounds, for weaning weight (adjusted to age of dam and a standard 205 days of age). This is an indicator of growth from birth to weaning.
YEARLING WEIGHT (YW)
Predicts the expected difference, in pounds, for yearling weight (adjusted to a standard 365 days of age). This is an indicator of growth from birth to yearling.
MILK (MILK)
The genetic ability of a sire’s daughters to produce milk expressed in pounds of weaning weight.
CALVING EASE MATERNAL (CEM)
Represented as percent of unassisted births in a sire’s first-calving daughters. A higher number represents more favorable calving ease. This EPD is important to a rancher’s bottom line because it predicts which animals pro-duce daughters with a genetic predisposition to calve unassisted as heifers.
STAYABILITY (ST)
Predicts the genetic difference, in terms of percent probability, that a bull’s daughters will stay productive within a herd to at least six year of age. The stayability EPD is one of the best measures currently available to compare a bull’s abil-ity to produce females with reproductive longevity.
YIELD GRADE (YG)
Differences in yield grade score, which is a predictor of percent retail product. Smaller values suggest that progeny will have a better lean to fat ratio.
CARCASS WEIGHT (CW)
Differences in pounds of hot carcass weight, adjusted to an industry standard age endpoint.
RIBEYE AREA (REA)
Differences in ribeye area in inches between the 12th and 13th rib. Greater ribeye areas are preferable.
MARBLING (MB)
Predicts the differences in the degree of marbling within the ribeye as expressed in marbling score units. Greater marbling numbers are preferable and are an indicator of higher carcass quality grades.
FAT (FAT)
Differences for fat thickness, in inches, for a carcass over the 12th rib, smaller numbers of fat thickness are preferable as excess fat can be detrimental to yield grade.
