28th Annual Bull Sale understanding epd’S
Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs) are the most reliable predictor of an animal’s genetic merit, and the most powerful tool that is available for making genetic progress. An EPD predicts the difference in performance of future offspring of a parent, as compared to progeny from other parents, when each are bred to mates of equal value. The observed performance of an animal is determined by both genetics and environment, so EPDs only predict differences due to genes passed on from parent to offspring and actual performance will vary based on the individual animal’s specific genes and environmental factors. By comparing an animal’s EPD for a given trait to the average EPD of all animals in the breed, you can determine if the animal is above or below average and whether they will add desirable traits to your herd. For Gestation Length and Birthweight, a lower number is more desirable indicating a shorter gestation/ lower birth weight. For all other traits a higher number is more desirable. New this year, we have included a Docility EPD for all bulls. Docility has proven to be a highly inheritable trait, so a bull with a high docility number can quickly make a difference in the temperament of your herd.

Here is an impressive XAndrew son with a ton of potential. Ozzy has a tremendous hip and is very smooth made. He displays natural muscle and structural soundness on a moderate frame. Ozzy has a big chest floor, with neck extension and very natural bone to go along with a thick hair coat. This future herd sire has good growth and style to burn. Ozzy is out of a first calf Revolver daughter who did a great job. In my mind this is the right kind of bull.

Square in his lines, sound structured and profiles very well this Wanderer son is very complete just like his dad. Andy’s dam is maybe one of the fanciest cows on our farm perfect feet and udder, long bodied and deep flanked. Andy is right next to the top of the pen in weight gain he has gained 3.94lbs/day since weaning and this is the stamp of consistency that Wanderer has put on all of his calves.

His dam Peggy Sue is another Mastermind daughter with a 39.1 Milk Epd and probably the most consistent female in our herd. 4 years in a row she has had a bull calf in the show pen that have been top sellers and this guy is no exception. Zavier is one of our favorites and he has big scrotal and is the exact direction that the Limousin breed is in need of going he will do great things in any herd producing replacement females and high selling bull calves.
