GREEN HILLS GELBVIEH

GHGF 3A52 ET is a really complete homo black, homo polled long yearling balancer herd sire prospect. This guy is a little behind because he had a below average receip and then battled sickness for the early part of his life. He is extremely level designed and huge boned with a big stout hip in him. He does this while still being sound as a cat and has that added look from the side. This guy has tremendous power in his pedigree being out of the angus AI sire, PVF Payday 729 who has had great success in the angus bred for siring cattle who can get along in the show ring and in the pasture. On the bottom side, he is out of the 2011 National Champion female, TKLF Whitney who has turned in to an awesome donor for us. This mating has been tremendously successful this year with flush mates winning divisions in Louisville and Denver and an ET sister being named reserve balancer female in the Jr show in Denver in January. Combine this with the set of EPD’s he has and you have one that will out-produce himself. GE-EPD’s Top 2% YG, top 5% YG, top 20% CW & MB and 25% YW & FPI. Genetic defect free for AM, NH, DD, and OS

New Generation AGA EPDs The American Gelbvieh Association’s (AGA) January 2013 EPDs are based on a new collaborative national cattle evaluation (NCE) with the American Simmental Association (ASA). Below is a summary of some of the enhancements to the AGA new generation EPDs, followed by trait averages and percentile charts.

Gelbvieh and Balancer® Share a Common Base with Simmental and Red Angus Gelbvieh and Balancer EPDs are now on the same base with Simmental and Red Angus, which means that EPDs for each trait (except stayability) are directly comparable to ASA and Red Angus Association of America (RAAA) EPDs. This was a huge, progressive decision by the AGA Board of Directors, made to simplify bull selection for commercial producers.

Calving Ease and Calving Ease Daughters EPDs Converted to Industry Standard Terminology For over 25 years, the AGA calving ease (CE) and calving ease daughter (CED) EPDs were reported in the form of a ratio. They are now reflected as percentages. Higher CE values equal more unassisted births from sires when mated to first-calf heifers.

Higher CED EPDs indicate less calving difficulty from a sire’s own first-calf daughters.

Multi-Breed EPDs Provide More Complete Balancer EPDs The true multi-breed EPD NCE conducted by the ASA enables the inclusion of more progeny data from Red Angus and Angus sires, especially for the carcass traits.

Growth Traits are More Reliable The new EPDs for weaning weight (WW), yearling weight (YW) and carass weight (CW) are more reliable because the new statistical process accepts a wider age window for weaning weight.

This is especially beneficial for breeders that wean calves early due to drought. Historically, weights from early-weaned calves were not included in the NCE.

Carcass Traits are Standardized In recent years, Gelbvieh and Balancer carcass traits were adjusted to a fat end-point instead of an age endpoint like the rest of the industry. AGA’s transition to age-adjusted carcass EPDs will eliminate the gaps in the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center’s carcass EPD breed comparisons. This change also means that the days-to-finish (DtF) EPD is replaced by a fat (FT) EPD. A yield grade (YG) EPD is also new. For both FT and YG, lower EPDs are typically more favorable.
