RED MOON ANGUS HERD HEALTH
Red Moon Angus employs a complete herd health program focusing on preventative care of the herd. The breeding herd is vaccinated with Express 5, Fusogard and blackleg boosters prior to breeding. The calves are vaccinated in the spring and fall with Pyramid 5 Presponse and black leg vaccine. The bull calves are given Fusogard in the late fall and early winter for footrot prevention. I would like to wish the Moons the best of luck on their bull sale. Dr. Kim Beaudette, DVM

More information is available as we get closer to sale date, such as current weights. We record every bull’s destination and can easily tell you if you have used a particular genetic line.

Red Moon uses ANGUS GS testing Genomics are:
• Used to parent verify animals for guaranteed pedigrees • Used to calculate more accurate EPDs, especially for younger animals Genomic technology has been used to make EPDs more accurate. The genomic data increases the accuracy with which we relate animals to each other, verifying pedigree information, and allowing us to apply phenotypes of related animals to non-phenotyped animals. Genotyping animals has led to more accurate EPDs for younger animals. This means that doing the Angus GS test on an animal gives you as much information as having 23 calves with birth weights recorded and as many as 12 calves tested for individual feed intake. It’s specifically designed for Angus genetics. There is a lot of value on genomic technology, specifically the Angus GS test. EPDs: are a universal way of describing the genetic potential of progeny from breeding stock, a genetic selection tool that can help producers reach a breeding selection goal for their herd. EPDs: can help you maintain the traits that you want to keep in your herd EPDs: are the only fair way to compare breeding stock across herds and different environments

Angus GS includes: • SNP Parentage Verification • Genetic condition test results • Genomic percentile ranks • GEPDs (more accurate gnomically enhanced epds)
