BULL EVALUATION
Each year the Minnesota Beef Cattle Improvement Association (MBCIA) in association with the University of Minnesota, operates a bull test station located near Spring Grove, MN, and managed by Ron Holty, Foundation Feeders, Inc.
The purpose of this bull test is to measure the individual performance of perspective herd sires under relatively standard conditions so that reasonably valid comparisons can be made between bulls. All bulls are given an index for the sale on a formula using both the average daily gain (ADG) and the weight per day of age (WDA) of the bull compared with the average of the testing group. At the conclusion of the feed test, the top 75% of the bulls meeting the sale criteria are examined for health and reproductive soundness, and offered at auction for the improvement of other herds.

EPD + BULL
EPD INFORMATION
Expected progency difference (EPD) values have been provided by the national breed associations for each bull. Beef Value index for Black Angus ($B), All Purpose Index (API) and Terminal Index (TI) for Simmental are included.
FEED RATIONS
The bulls on test have been fed a TMR high roughage ration consisting of a high percentage of protein and a low percentage of energy. This promotes higher intake of forage which promotes rumen stretch, rumen health, and results in better performance on pasture.
PERFORMANCE RECORDS
Each bull in the sale has surpassed rigid performance standards. The catalog provides performance data based on the 100-day weight report. Final performance data and scrotal circumference will be provided separately on sale day. In addition to the weights, EPDS, ADG, and WDA, the bulls have also been ultrasound scanned for backfat, intramuscular fat and ribeye area. All ultrasound data are adjusted to one year of age unless noted as an actual measurement.
DEFINITIONS OF CATALOG INFORMATION
• Birth Weight (BW): Actual birth weight as reported by owner of bull.
• 104 Wt: Weight reported on February 22, 2020, the 104th day on test.
• ADG: Average daily gain measured in pounds of gain per day.
• WDA: Weight per day of age equals the 100 Wt. divided by the days of age.
• Breed Index (BI): Ratio used to compare the bulls on test using the WDA and the ADG.
• Ribeye Area (REA): Ribeye ultrasound scanned measurement taken between the 12th and 13th rib, adjusted to 365 days of age and recorded in inches. Ribeye of 11 to 14 square inches are most appropriate for cutting one-inch thick steaks weighing 8 to 10 oz.
• Rib: Backfat, ultrasound measurement of the layer of fat directly under the hide over the ribs, adjusted to 365 days of age and recorded in inches.
• Rump: Backfat, ultrasound scanned measurement of the layer of fat directly under the hide over the rump, adjusted to 365 days of age and recorded in inches.
• Intramuscular Fat (%IMF): This measurement designates the amount of fat within the muscle (similar to marbling). Reported in percentage.
*Actual measurements are recorded for those bulls too young to adjust ultrasound measurements to one year of age.
