Canada 2023 Beef Sire Directory

Beef Sire Directory

The cattle of tomorrow begin with the best genetics today.

At GENEX, we don’t have to ask what our ‘Why’ is … We live it everyday.

Our philosophy has always been Cow Sense & Science. We appreciate cattle for their phenotype and know the importance of hard-to-measure traits to your bottom line.

We believe that behind every good bull is an even better cow. At the same time, we know that to be successful we must embrace today’s data-backed technologies, utilizing EPDs and genomics to ensure our bull lineup is second-to-none.

At times, it may seem that Cow Sense & Science are at odds with each other, but one without the other is not a complete picture, because the whole that defines us is greater than the parts that make us. That is Cow Sense & Science.

Take a look at what Cow Sense & Science means to GENEX. Scan here to view a

We take your genetic progress to heart. That's why we offer Cow Sense & Science – a blend of generational wisdom, phenotype, EPDs and genomics – to provide you with cattle that exhibit real-world worthiness for generations.

The Fertility Factor

Artificial Insemination (A.I.) is the most effective and economical tool available for making rapid genetic progress in beef cowherds. Semen from the world’s best bulls can be used on tens of thousands of cows annually in all corners of the world with the help of liquid nitrogen and a skilled breeder. As part of a well-designed breeding program, A.I. can advance a cowherd to new levels of quality and profitability.

With the highest standards in the industry, GENEX semen creates more pregnancies, and we can prove it! Based on GENEX’s internal on-farm database, across millions of breeding observations, GENEX semen creates more pregnancies.

We can show you how much better GENEX semen is on beef bulls. Our competition references conception rates on dairy bulls and tells you how much better they are, but at the end of the day, they’re not. Also, you don’t use dairy bulls!

It begins with the highest quality semen standards in the industry. At GENEX, we use superior technology to evaluate semen with uncompromised standards in quality control. Plus, we go the extra mile to ensure our sires pass all the health requirements — producing the finest semen possible.

GENEX knows your time is valuable. You work hard for your money. We want to make sure every straw of GENEX semen you purchase has the best chance possible of creating a live calf. At the end of the day, GENEX semen creates more pregnancies, and we can prove it!

However, genetic progress comes to a halt if conception doesn’t occur!

Terminology

EPD: Expected Progeny Difference – The expected differences in performance of a sire’s progeny when compared to the average progeny of all sires evaluated within the breed. Based on actual performance, progeny performance and relatives’ performance.

ACC: Accuracy – The reliability placed on the EPD.

CE, CED: Calving Ease Direct – The difference in percentage of unassisted births, with a higher value indicating greater calving ease in first–calf heifers.

BW: Birth Weight – The birth weights of a bull’s progeny when compared to the breed average, in pounds.

WW: Weaning Weight – The adjusted weaning weights of a bull’s progeny when compared to the breed average, in pounds.

YW: Yearling Weight – The adjusted yearling weights of a bull’s progeny when compared to breed average, in pounds.

UDDR: Udder Suspension (Hereford, Charolais) – Differences in sire EPDs predict the difference expected in the sires’ daughters udder characteristics when managed in the same environment. Weak udder suspension results in pendulous udders that make it difficult for a calf to nurse.

TEAT: Teat Size (Hereford, Charolais) – Differences in sire EPDs predict the difference expected in the sires’ daughters udder characteristics when managed in the same environment. Oversized teats are difficult for newborn calves to nurse and the calf may not receive adequate colostrum.

DMI: Dry Matter Intake (Hereford) – Predicts the daily consumption of pounds of feed.

RADG: Residual Average Daily Gain (Angus) – The adjusted amount of post weaning gain in future progeny, in pounds, given a constant amount of feed consumed.

ADG: Average Daily Gain (Simmental) – The difference in pounds of daily gain expected between animals' progeny during the post weaning feeding period.

SCR, SC: Scrotal Circumference (Angus, Charolais, Hereford) – The adjusted yearling scrotal circumferences of a bull’s progeny when compared to breed average, in centimeters.

SCF: Sustained Cow Fertility (Hereford) – A prediction of a cow’s ability to continue to calve from three years of age through twelve years of age, given she calved as a two-year-old. Expressed as a deviation in the proportion of the ten-possible calvings to twelve years old expressed as a probability.

DOC: (Angus, Simmental) – The difference in yearling cattle temperament, with a higher value indicating more favorable docility.

CLAW: Claw Set (Angus) – Expressed in units of claw-set score, with a lower EPD being more favorable indicating a sire will produce progeny with more ideal claw set. The ideal target for claw set being toes are symmetrical, evenly and appropriately spaced.

ANGLE: Foot Angle (Angus) – Expressed in units of foot-angle score, with a lower EPD being more favorable indicating a sire will produce progeny with more ideal foot angle. The ideal targeting animals with a 45-degree angle at the pastern joint with appropriate length and heel depth.

PAP: (Angus) – PAP is an indicator for animals with lower risk of developing high altitude disease. A lower PAP EPD predicts a sire should produce progeny with lower pulmonary arterial pressures, decreasing the risk of contracting high altitude disease, which is desirable.

HS: Hair Shedding (Angus) – An indicator trait for heat tolerance and tolerance to fescue toxicosis. Expressed in units of hair shed score, with a lower EPD being more favorable, indicating a sire should produce progeny who shed their winter coat earlier in the spring. Selection for this trait should improve the genetic potential for a sire's progeny to shed off earlier, increasing the environmental adaptability of cattle living in heat stressed areas and producers grazing endophyte-infected (hot) fescue.

CETM, CEM, MCE: Calving Ease Total Maternal, Calving Ease Maternal, Maternal Calving Ease – The difference in percentage of unassisted births with a higher value indicating greater calving ease in first-calf daughters.

Milk, MM: Maternal Milk – The amount of pre–weaning performance gained by calves which can be attributed to the milking ability of a bull’s daughters, expressed in pounds of calf.

TM, MWW: Total Maternal, Maternal Weaning Weight (Simmental, Charolais) – Measure of a sire’s ability to transmit milk production and growth rate through his daughters. Predicts the weaning weight of a sire’s daughters’ calves. Equal to his milk EPD plus half his WW EPD.

M&G: Maternal Milk & Growth (Hereford) – The Milk EPD plus half the WW EPD. A sire’s M&G EPD reflects what he is expected to transmit to his daughters for a combination of growth genetics and maternal production.

ME: Maintenance Energy (Red Angus) – Differences in mature cow maintenance energy requirements. Expressed as megacalories per month.

HPG, HP: Heifer Pregnancy (Red Angus, Angus) – Differences in percent probability of female progeny conceiving to calve as 2-yearolds; a more accurate measurement than her sire’s or paternal brothers’ scrotal circumference.

MkH: Milking Herds (Angus) – Indicates the number of herds from which daughters are reported.

MkD: Milking Daughters (Angus) – Reflects the number of daughters having progeny weaning weight records included in the analysis.

MW: Mature Weight (Angus) – A predictor of the difference in mature weight of a sire’s daughters compared to the daughters of other sires, expressed in pounds.

MH: Mature Height (Angus) – A predictor of the difference in mature height of a sire’s daughters compared to daughters of other sires, expressed in inches.

STAY: Stayability (Red Angus, Simmental) – Differences in percent probability of daughters staying productive past the age of six.

CW: Carcass Weight – The adjusted carcass weights of a sire’s progeny, expressed in pounds.

MB, MARB, IMF: Marbling – A predictor of the difference in a sire’s progeny for percent marbling score or percent intramuscular fat in the ribeye muscle compared to other sires.

YG: Yield Grade (Simmental, Red Angus) – Expressed as a deviation of Yield Grade units where negative values are desirable.

REA, RE: Ribeye Area – Adjusted ribeye area of a sire’s progeny, measured in square inches.

FAT, BF: Back Fat – The adjusted twelfth rib fat thickness of a sire’s progeny, expressed in inches.

SHR: Shear Force (Simmental) – Pounds of force required to shear a steak.

Carc H/P and Ult H/P: Group/progeny (Angus) – Reflects the number of contemporary groups and the number of carcass and ultrasound progeny included in the analysis.

I: Interim – The EPD is based on performance information of a bull’s sire, dam and relatives.

P: Pedigree estimate.

$EN: Cow Energy Value (Angus) – Assesses differences in cow energy requirements as an expected dollar savings difference in daughters of sires, expressed in dollar savings/cow/year. A larger value is more favorable when comparing two animals. $EN savings include lactation energy requirements and energy costs associated with differences in mature cow size.

$M: Maternal Weaned Calf Value (Angus) – Expressed in dollars per head, $M predicts profitability differences in progeny due to genetics from conception to weaning. $M is built off a self-replacing herd model where commercial cattlemen replace 25% of their breeding females in the first generation and 20% in subsequent generations. Remaining cull females and all male progeny are sold as feeder calves.

$W: Weaned Calf Value (Angus) – Provides the expected dollar-perhead difference in future progeny preweaning performance from birth to weaning, expressed in $/head. $W assumes producers retain 20% of their female progeny for replacements and sell the rest of their cull female and male progeny as feeder calves.

$F: Feedlot Value (Angus) – Calculates a $/head difference in expected progeny performance for post weaning merit. $F uses WW and YW EPDs along with trait inter-relationships. Typical feedlot gain value, feed consumption and cost differences are accounted for in the final calculations.

$G: Grid Value (Angus) – Combines quality grade and yield grade attributes, and is calculated for animals with carcass EPDs, ultrasound EPDs or both types of EPDs. A three-year rolling average is used to establish typical industry economic values for quality grade and yield grade schedules.

$B: Beef Value (Angus) – A terminal index representing the expected average dollar-per-carcass difference in the progeny postweaning performance and carcass value compared to progeny of other sires. This index assumes commercial producers wean all male and female progeny, retain ownership of these animals through the feedlot phase and market these animals on a quality-based carcass grid.

$C: Combined Value (Angus) – Expressed in $/head, $C includes all traits that make up both $M and $B with the objective that commercial producers will replace 20% of their breeding females per year with replacement heifers retained within their own herd. The remaining cull heifer and steer progeny are assumed to be sent to the feedlot where producers retain ownership of those cattle and will sell them on a quality-based carcass merit grid.

API: All–Purpose Index (Simmental) – Evaluates sires for use on the entire cow herd (bred to both Angus first-calf heifers and mature cows) with daughters retained and remaining heifers and steers put on feed and sold grade and yield.

TI: Terminal Index (Simmental) – Evaluates sires for use on mature Angus cows with all offspring put on feed and sold on a grade and yield basis.

BMI$: Baldy Maternal Index (Hereford) – An index to maximize profit for commercial cow/calf producers who use Hereford bulls in rotational crossbreeding programs on Angus-based cows and heifers. Retained ownership of calves is assumed, with fed cattle marketed on a Certified Hereford Beef® (CHB) pricing grid.

BII$: Brahman Influence Index (Hereford) – This index is similar to BMI$, except Hereford bulls are used in rotational crossing with Brahman rather than Angus. Greater emphasis placed on traits deficient in Brahman-cross cattle, (fertility and age at puberty) and less on acceptable traits (growth and calving ease).

CHB$: Certified Hereford Beef Index (Hereford) – A terminal sire index where Hereford bulls are mated to British-cross cows and all offspring are sold as fed cattle on a CHB pricing grid.

ProS: (Red Angus) – The profitability and sustainability selection index is an all-purpose index that covers economically relevant traits across all aspects of the beef supply chain from conception to carcass. This updated index will be a combination of HerdBuilder, which includes traits from conception to weaning, and GridMaster, which includes postweaning through harvest traits. Expressed in $ per head born.

HB: HerdBuilder (Red Angus) – Used by producers to increase the sustainability of the cow herd and ultimately their operation. HB assumes bulls will be mated to both cows and heifers, replacement females will be retained within the herd, and the remaining progeny will be sold on a quality based carcass grid.

GM: GridMaster Index (Red Angus) – Used by producers whose primary goal is to maximize profitability of feeders in the feedyard and on the rail. GM assumes bulls will be mated to cows only, and all progeny will be sold on a quality based carcass grid.

TSI: Terminal Sire Index (Charolais) – Combines BW, WW, YW, REA, HCW, MARB and FAT into one single value. The TSI uses estimates of the genetic relationships between traits with an economic default value based on three year rolling USDA data.

PregCheck™ Rankings: An evaluation of an individual sire’s frozen semen conception rate. The model and data collection process is the first of its kind in the beef industry. PregCheck™ fertility rankings are not an evaluation of future fertility in a sire’s daughters.

Genetic Defects: In recent years several genetic defects have been identified, including Arthrogryposis Multiplex (AM), Neuropathic Hydrocephalus (NH), Contractural Arachnodactyly (CA), Developmental Duplication (DD), Osteopetrosis (OS) and Oculocutaneous Hypopigmentation (OH). It is important for A.I. companies to be vigilant concerning genetic defects as the opportunity to increase the frequency of these negative traits on the population can be significant. With bulls selling 50 to 100,000 units, a single carrier bull can widely spread a genetic problem. GENEX has worked hard to ensure this does not happen. All GENEX bulls listed in this directory have been tested or are known free by pedigree for the major genetic defects, unless otherwise stated.
