PRIME TIME Data Explained

Registration Number: Animals noted with “R” number are Registered Brangus. Those noted with a “UB” number are Ultra-Blacks, indicating they are a Brangus-Angus blend. Those noted as UB2 are second cross Ultrablacks. “AX” recorded bulls are appendix registered purebred Brangus that have non-typical Brangus color pattern. Animals noted with “DNA” are correctly pedigreed yet waiting final validation for AI sire or possibly Donor Dams. These animals will ultimately have “R” or “UB” prefixes. Polled/Scurred/Horned: Denotes animals that are either smooth polled or have the presence of scurs or slick spots. Those noted as “scurs” typically have had scurs removed post-weaning.

Ultrasound

Ribeye Area (REA): Measured in square inches, a predictor of ribeye size.

Ribeye Area/100 lb Body Weight (RE/100): Expressed in inches of ribeye per 100 lbs body weight as measured by actual ribeye divided by actual yearling weight multiplied by 100 (lbs).

Fat (FAT): Measured in inches and adjusted to 365 days.

Intramuscular Fat (IMF): Measured as a percentage and used as a predictor of genetic marbling value.

Individual Performance

Birth Weight (BW): Actual weight at birth, expressed in pounds.

Weaning Weight (AWW): Weaning weight adjusted to a constant 205 days. Takes into account differences in days of age at weaning and age of dam .

Yearling Weight (AYW): Yearling weight adjusted to a constant 365 days. Takes into account differences in days of age at yearling time, average daily gain post-weaning, and adjusted 205 weight.

Scrotal Circumference (SC): Testicular circumference, measured in centimeters, and adjusted to 365 days of age.

New EPDs/Index

Heifer Pregnancy (HP): The probability that a female will have a calf as a two year old. Expressed as a percent with the higher number more desirable.

Stayability (Stay): Measures the probability that a cow will still be in the herd at six years of age, with the higher number being more desirable.

Breed Back (BB): A fertility indicator trait that expresses the likelihood for a female ability to become pregnant on an annual basis, or a sire’s ability to produce daughters with the same value.

Number of Calves (NC): A fertility indicator trait that expresses the number of potential calves a female will have in her lifetime, or a sire’s ability to produce daughters with a greater likelihood to have more calves in her lifetime.

Terminal Index (Term): Evaluates a sire for use on mature cows with all offspring put on feed and sold in a terminal end point scenario. No replacement females are kept in the scenario.

Expected Progeny Difference

Expected Progeny Difference (EPD): The genetic predictor of how future progeny of each animal are expected to perform relative to the progeny of other animals listed in the breed database.

EPD Accuracy: Since all sale animals in this catalog are non-parents, their accuracies are the lowest calculated by our national sire evaluation program. Every EPD reported is either current, interim or pedigree EPD. Calving Ease Direct (CED): Expressed as a percentage and indicates the influence of the animal on calving ease in females calving at 2 years of age. The higher the number the more desirable for calving ease.

Weaning Weight EPD (WW): Expressed in pounds, is a predictor of an animal’s ability to transmit weaning growth to its progeny.

Yearling Weight EPD (YW): Expressed in pounds, is a predictor of an animal’s ability to transmit yearling growth to its progeny.

Milk EPD (Milk): Predicts an animal’s genetic merit for milk and mothering ability as expressed in daughters compared to daughters of other animals. In other words, it is that part of a calf’s weaning weight attributed to milk.

Total Maternal EPD (TM): Expressed in pounds, a genetic predictor of weaning weight by blending a combination of maternal milk and weaning weight value.

Scrotal Circumference EPD (SC): Measured in centimenters at yearling time, predicts testicular size.

Ribeye Area (REA): Expressed in square inches, is a predictor of transmitting ribeye size and overall muscle which is a key component in USDA yield grades.

Intramuscular Fat (IMF): Expressed as a percentage, is a predictor of transmitting ability for marbling or intra-muscular fat correlating to USDA quality grade at harvest time.

Percentile Ranks: The given EPD values are current to the printing of this catalog. However, an EPD is meaningless without the knowledge of where that given EPD ranks in a breed population. The PERCENTILE RANKS are offered in combination with the EPD or Index values and determine where EPD ranks in the national Brangus database from our National Genetic Evaluation. A percentile rank of 10% indicates a trait in the Top 10% of the entire nations Brangus database.

Potential Genetic Conditions

Genetic Conditions: If a genetic condition is known to exist in any sale animal or the potential of a genetic condition exists, we will make note of that information in the footnotes for that animal. All animals in the sale have been tested, are pedigree free of any known conditions or will be noted as a potential carrier while waiting for final testing (e.g., DDPC).

Selling: 25 Staws of Semen in Packages of Five Straws Per Lot. This will be the first of only three allotments of Sho Time semen to sell in 2023. The second and third offerings of Sho Time Semen packages will be sold at the ACE Sale at Quail Valley in June, and the ACE Sale at Wiley Ranch in September.

• In 2022 MC Sho Time 313H30 was the Mound Creek selection as the “Keeper Choice” from one of the stoutest sets of bulls ever sold at Mound Creek.

• Simply put, Sho Time is impressive from all angles and captured everyone’s attention.

• After Mound Creek and ACE reached agreement on Sho Time the decision was made to hold off semen sales until the 2023 Mound Creek Bull Sale.

• In the interim Sho Time’s perfect dam sold for $120,000 at the 2022 Quail Valley Sale.

• The first Sho Time calves hit the ground and they are simply awesome!
