SIRE SELECTION EPD EPD TERMINOLOGY SIRE SELECTION TERMINOLOGY EPD - Expected Progeny Difference - The expected difference in performance of a bull’s progeny compared to the performance of another sire’s progeny. In other words,EPDs for one animal are meaningless until they are compared to EPDs of another animal. For example, if Sire A has a birth weight EPD of 4.0 and Sire B has a birth weight EPD of -2.0, then calves from Sire B would be expected to average 6 pounds lighter at birth than calves from Sire A if the bulls are randomly mated in the same herd. EPDs are designed to compare sires within the same breed.
UDDR – Udder Suspension (Hereford), Differences in sire EPD’s 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.
Acc. - Accuracy - A measure of reliability of an EPD expressed between 0 and 1.0. Accuracies closer to 1.0 means the EPD is a more reliable estimate of a sire’s true genetic value for the trait.
Mature Weight EPD (MW) - expressed in pounds, is a predictor of the difference in mature weight of daughters of a sire compared to the daughters of other sires.
% Rank - Based on percentages, this indicates where a bull’s EPD ranks him in the entire population of his respective breed. CED or CE - Calving Ease Direct is the difference in percentage of unassisted births when a sire is bred to firstcalf heifers. A higher number is desirable. BW - Birth Weight EPD predicts the difference in average birth weight of a bull’s calves compared to calves of another bull. Reported in pounds, a lower number is desirable. WW - Weaning Weight EPD predicts the difference in average 205-day weight of a bull’s progeny compared to calves of another bull. Reported in pounds, a higher number is desirable. YW - Yearling Weight EPD predicts the difference in average 365-day weight of a bull’s progeny compared to progeny of another bull. Reported in pounds, a higher number is generally desirable. Milk, MM - The milk EPD predicts the difference in average 205-day weight of a bull’s daughters’ calves compared to the calves from daughters of another bull. Reported in pounds, ideal milk values depend heavily upon the nutritional environment of the herd. MWW - Maternal Weaning Weight (Simmental); M&G - Milk and Growth (Hereford); TM - Total Maternal (Red Angus) - The EPD predicts the Weaning Weight of a bull’s daughters’ progeny and reflects both the milking ability of a bull’s daughters and the growth potential of their calves. Reported in pounds, higher numbers are generally desirable. $EN - Cow Energy Value (Angus), expressed in dollars saved per cow per year, the EPD assesses differences in cow energy requirements for daughters of sires. A larger value is more favorable when comparing two animals (more dollars saved on feed energy expenses). $EN savings differences account for lactation energy requirements and mature size of cows. HP, HPG - Heifer Pregnancy, is a selection tool to increase the probability or chance of a sire’s daughters becoming pregnant as first-calf heifers during a normal breeding season. A higher EPD is the more favorable direction and the EPD is reported in percentage units. Predicts the probability of heifers conceiving to calve at two years of age. Many breeds offer genetic predictions of yearling bull scrotal circumference as an indicator of age of puberty. While puberty is a prerequisite, many factors influence pregnancy rate. Red Angus’ HPG EPD offers a tool which selects for what is economically relevant to ranchers – pregnant heifers. Herds (MkH) indicate the number of herds from which daughters are reported. RADG - Residual Average Daily Gain expressed in pounds per day, is a predictor of a sire’s genetic ability for post-weaning gain in future progeny compared to that of other sires, given a constant amount of feed consumed. DMI - Dry Matter Intake expressed in pounds per day, is a predictor of difference transmitting ability for feed intake during the post-weaning phase, compared to that of other sires. YH - Yearling Height (Angus) - The YH EPD predicts the difference in yearling hip height of a bull’s progeny compared to progeny of another bull. Reported in inches, ideal values vary depending on production environment. SC - Scrotal Circumference - The SC EPD predicts the difference in yearling scrotal circumference of a bull’s male progeny compared to progeny of another bull. Reported in centimeters, a larger number is desirable. Docility (Doc) - is expressed as a difference in yearling cattle temperament, with a higher value indicating more favorable docility. It predicts the average difference of progeny from a sire in comparison with another sire’s calves. In herds where temperament problems are not an issue, this expected difference would not be realized. CEM or MCE - Calving Ease Maternal is expressed as a difference in percentage of unassisted births of a sire’s daughters as first-calf heifers when compared to daughters of other sires. Reported as a percentage, a higher value is desirable.
4
Daughters (MkD) reflects the number of daughters that have progeny weaning weight records included in the analysis.
Mature Height EPD (MH) - expressed in inches, is a predictor of the difference in mature height of a sire’s daughters compared to daughters of other sires. Stay - Stayability - The stayability EPD predicts the probability of a bull’s daughters staying in production to at least six years of age compared to daughters of another bull. Reported as a percentage, a higher value is desirable. ADG – Average Daily Gain (Simmental), The difference in pounds of daily gain expected between animals’ progeny during the post wean feeding period. Maintenance Energy (ME) - predicts differences in daughters’ maintenance energy requirements and is expressed in Mcal/Month. Recognizing that 70% of cowherd feed costs are burned up in maintaining weight and condition, Red Angus’ ME EPD allows for the selection of bulls whose daughters will require less feed; thus, reducing cowherd expenses. Include selection pressure for ME EPD to ensure feed costs don’t get out of line when selection is made for greater performance and production. Carcass Traits – EPDs for carcass traits are calculated using weighted averages of yearling ultrasounds and progeny carcass data. CW - Carcass Weight - The EPD predicts the difference in hot carcass weight of a bull’s progeny compared to progeny of all other bulls evaluated at a given endpoint. Reported in pounds, a higher number is generally desirable. TEAT – Teat Size (Hereford), Differences in sire EPD’s 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. 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. 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 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. Claw – Claw Set EPD (Angus), is 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 claw set is toes that are symmetrical, even and appropriately spaced. Angle - Foot Angle EPD (Angus), is 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 is a 45-degree angle at the pastern joint with appropriate toe length and heel depth. MARB, MB, IMF - Marbling - The EPD predicts the difference in average USDA marbling score of a bull’s progeny compared to progeny of another bull at a similar end point. Reported in degrees of a marbling score, higher values are desirable. REA - Ribeye Area - The EPD predicts the difference in ribeye area of a bull’s progeny compared to the progeny of another bull and is an indicator of total muscle in the carcass. Reported in square inches, larger numbers are generally desirable. Fat - The EPD predicts the difference in fat thickness of carcasses, measured between the 12th and 13th ribs, of a bull’s progeny compared to progeny of another bull. Reported in inches, lower values are desirable. YG - Yield Grade (Simmental) – The EPD predicts differences in USDA Yield Grade of a bull’s progeny compared to progeny of another bull. Reported in tenths of a USDA YG, lower numbers are desirable. TEND – Tenderness, It represents the genetic potential for tenderness as measured by the Warner Bratzler shear force test, with the higher profile scores being more tender than lower scores.
$VALUE INDEXES (ANGUS)
2024 SIRE DIRECTORY
Maternal Weaned Calf Value ($M), an index, expressed in dollars per head, predicts profitability differences from conception to weaning with the underlying breeding objective assuming that individuals retain their own replacement females within herd and sell the rest of the cull female and all male progeny as feeder calves. The model assumes commercial producers will replace 25% of their breeding females in the first generation and 20% of their breeding females in each subsequent generation. Traits included are as follows: calving ease direct, calving ease maternal, weaning weight, milk, heifer pregnancy, docility, mature cow weight, claw set and foot angle.
Certified Hereford Beef (CHB), is a terminal sire index based on using Hereford bulls to sire calves for the CHB market. Some emphasis is applied to CE with positive pressure applied to WW and YW, IMF and REA. No emphasis is placed on fertility as all calves are harvested.
Weaned Calf Value ($W), an index, expressed in dollars per head, to predict profitability differences in progeny due to genetics from birth to weaning. The underlying objective being producers will retain 20% of the female progeny as replacements and sell the rest of the cull females and their male counterparts as feeder calves. Traits included are as follows (in no particular order): birth weight, weaning weight, milk, and mature cow weight.
$VALUE INDEXES (RED ANGUS)
Feedlot Value ($F), an index, expressed in dollars per head, to predict profitability differences in progeny due to genetics for postweaning feedlot merit compared to the progeny of other sires. The underlying objective assumes producers will retain ownership of cattle through the feedlot phase and sell fed cattle on a carcass weight basis, but with no consideration of premiums or discounts for quality and yield grade. Traits contributing directly to the index are as follows: yearling weight (gain), carcass weight and feed efficiency. Grid Value ($G), an index, expressed in dollars per carcass, to predict profitability differences in progeny due to genetics for carcass grid merit compared to progeny of other sires. The underlying objective assumes producers will market cattle on an above-industry-average carcass grid. Traits included in the index are as follows (in no particular order): carcass weight, marbling, ribeye area, and fat. Beef Value ($B), a terminal index, expressed in dollars per carcass, to predict profitability differences in progeny due to genetics for post weaning and carcass traits. This terminal 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 carcass grid. Traits included in the index are as follows: yearling weight, dry-matter intake, marbling, carcass weight, ribeye area and fat.
INDEXES (SIMMENTAL)
All-Purpose Index (API), expressed in net dollars returned per cow exposed, evaluates Simmental sires being used on the entire cowherd (bred to both Angus first-calf heifers and mature cows) with a portion of the daughters retained for breeding and the steers and remaining heifers fed and sold on a carcass grade and yield basis. With the exception of shear force (tenderness), all EPDs are considered in this index. Terminal Index (TI), expressed in net dollars returned per cow exposed, evaluates the merit of sires when bred to mature Angus cows and all progeny are fed and sold on a carcass grade and yield basis. Consequently, maternal traits such as milk, stayability and MCE are not considered in this index.
Calving EZ (CEZ), is a general purpose index that focuses on bulls that can be bred to heifers with resulting calves marketed through CHB. CE and MCE carry significant weight along with fertility. Little emphasis is placed on growth with less on carcass. This index is specifically designed to be used in a heifer program. HerdBuilder Index As the name indicates, implementation of the HerdBuilder Index will assist producers in building profitable herds. The HerdBuilder Index is built using the following production scenario: • Red Angus bulls mated to cows and heifers (resulting progeny ¾ Red Angus, ¼ Simmental) • Replacement heifers retained from within the herd • All remaining progeny sold on a quality-based carcass grid. GridMaster Index While Red Angus has traditionally been known as a superior maternal breed, those who have retained ownership in Red Angus calves know of their potential to excel in the feedyard and ultimately hang a premium carcass. The GridMaster Index is built using the following production scenario: • Red Angus bulls mated to cows (resulting progeny ¾ Red Angus, ¼ Simmental) • All progeny sold on a quality-based carcass grid.
INDEXES (CHAROLAIS)
Terminal Sire Index (TSI) The AICA Terminal Sire Index (TSI) is a formal method of combing Expected Progeny Differences (EPD) – BWT, WWT, YWT, REA, HCW, MARB and FAT – into one single value on which to base selection decisions. The TSI uses estimates of the genetic relationships between traits with an economic default value based on three year rolling USDA data. The TSI represents a dollar index per terminal progeny produced for a bull in the AICA database, ranking them for profit potential. This dollar index is to be interpreted much like single trait EPD. For example, if Sire A’s index is $191.66 and Sire B’s index is $200.00, then we would expect Sire B’s offspring to average $8.34 more net return ($200.00 minus $191.66) than Sire A’s offspring.
INDEXES (BRAHMAN)
$BULL Index is a terminal index focused on selling animals through grid pricing with carcass weight weighted most heavily of all traits. There is a considerable positive correlation to frame score and all weight traits, meaning animals selected using this index will tend to be larger framed growthier animals. This index identifies cattle which have low birth weight (BW), good Calving Ease (CE) and good spread from BW to weaning weight (WW). The $BULL index also includes scrotal circumference and docility with moderate carcass influence on the index. The goal of this index is to identify cattle which would work well to produce bulls which could be marketed easily to commercial or purebred breeders.
$VALUE INDEXES (SHORTHORN)
QUEEN Index is a maternal index which focuses on a more balanced approach to cow selection. Frame score, milk, and back fat all have no correlation to the index, meaning that selecting replacement heifers for this index will not increase the mature size of the herd or have an impact milk production. Scrotal circumference, docility, and calving ease are weighted more heavily than in the $BULL index since these traits are indicators of puberty and manageability. In summary, the QUEEN index is an indication of ideal cattle to be raised for replacement heifers.
$F – ($ Feedlot) Similar to a Terminal Sire scenario, $Feedlot places strong emphasis on growth and carcass traits. This multi-trait index assumes the sire will be mated to a mix of heifers and cows and attempts to measure profitability when progeny are sold on the fed market. On the female side, mature size should be monitored closely when selecting for $F. Over-selection may cause detrimental harm to longevity, reproductive efficiency, and fleshing ability.
GENETIC DEFECTS
$ CEZ – ($ Calving Ease) This index assumes a bull will only be mated to heifers, not cows. The potential profitability of the sire is measured by the incidence of live calves at birth. Moderate mature size is also emphasized in the index, but performance is not a priority. This index is also a good measure of Shorthorn females’ ability to produce calving ease sires. Overemphasis of $CEZ may cause unwanted depression of weaning and yearling performance.
$BMI – ($ British Maternal Index) As the name implies, this multi-trait selection index attempts to measure a bull’s potential profitability when complimenting the British cow base (Angus, Red Angus, Hereford, etc.). Shorthorn females can likewise be gauged at adding value to British or British-composite bulls of other breeds. A balance of growth and carcass traits is desired with a strong maternal component aimed at optimum reproductive efficiency and cow longevity.
$PROFIT INDEXES (HEREFORD)
Brahman Influence Index (BII), is a maternally-focused index based on using Hereford bulls on Brahman x Hereford cows. Emphasizes fertility, REA and IMF, with progeny harvested through a commodity market. Baldy Maternal Index (BMI), is a maternally-focused index based on using Hereford bulls on Hereford x Angus cows with a progeny endpoint directed towards Certified Hereford Beef (CHB). Emphasizes fertility, CE, WW, IMF and REA with slight negative pressure on yearling weight to keep the mature size of cattle manageable.
AM – Arthrogryposis Multiplex, Curly Calf NH – Neuropathic Hydrocephalus, Water Head CA – Contractural Arachnodactyly, Fawn Calf Syndrome DD – Developmental Duplication, OS – Osteopetrosis, Marble Bone OH – Oculocutaneous Hypopigmentation, PHA – Pulmonary Hypoplasia with Anasarca TH – Tibial Hemimelia
ADDITIONAL TERMS
Homozygous Polled - This individual is polled and carries two polled genes. The animal will sire all polled offspring regardless of whether the other parent is horned or polled. Heterozygous Polled - The individual is polled but carries both a polled gene and a horned gene. The animal will sire both polled and horned calves. Homozygous Black - This individual will always pass on a black gene for color to his offspring. When bred to a diluted cow, this bull can still sire gray color patterns. Nondiluter - This individual does not carry the diluter gene and therefore will not pass on the diluter gene to his progeny. I – Interim, The EPD is based on performance information of a bull’s sire, dam, and relatives. P – Pedigree Estimate.

2024 SIRE DIRECTORY WHY ARE WE SEEING MORE SEMEN BEING PROCESSED IN 0.25 ML STRAWS THESE DAYS?
The 0.25-mL French straw has been thoroughly studied and compared with the 0.5-mL French straw for over 40 years. The 0.25-mL straw has some distinct advantages over the 0.5-mL straw in terms of storage efficiency and extender usage. The 0.25-mL straw is more sensitive to temperature change, which may be an advantage in some freezing systems with a slow freezing rate, but provides no advantage when the freezing rate is accelerated to optimize freezing in 0.5-mL straws. Disadvantages of the 0.25-mL straw include increased sensitivity to post-thaw temperature change, slightly more difficult to handle, and inferior identification readability. The fertility of cattle inseminated with extended semen packaged in 0.25-mL straws assessed in 13 studies (>770,000 inseminations) had a weighted advantage of 0.9% compared with semen packaged in 0.5-mL straws (J. Dairy Sci. 92:4432-4438). Currently, most semen is packaged in 0.5-mL straws, particularly at the Custom Collection Facilities throughout the US. An extensive research trial performed by GENEX and published in the scientific journal, (Theriogenology 63 (2005) 2535–2549), shows a 1.5% conception rate advantage to semen packaged in 0.25mL straws compared to semen packaged in 0.5mL straws. In addition, the 0.25mL straw package size is already in use around the world for conventional semen and domestically for sexed semen. As indicated, the main reason for the change is a better-quality product with higher fertility. While each 0.25mL straw will contain the same number of sperm as our current 0.5mL straws, the semen will be more concentrated. That is, they will have less extension media, but the same number of spermatozoa. We anticipate that other major semen collection facilities will move to the 0.25mL straw for production. To prepare yourself for this change, make sure that you have the proper AI syringe for the job. The KombiColor AI Syringe or the Estrotect Universal AI Syringe will serve the purpose and can be utilized for both straw sizes.

The Power of Genomically Enhanced EPDs The American Hereford Association (AHA) has embraced the use of genomics into their genetic evaluation by launching a first of its kind single step analysis that utilizes the marker effects of specific traits. Likewise, AHA is directly estimating accuracy values rather than approximating. The direct estimation of accuracy results in a more conservative value but a more accurate value than previous methodologies. The AHA is producing the most reliable genetic evaluation that is supported by Whole Herd TPR™ and genomics, which will give prospective buyers added confidence in purchasing young and unproven animals. Buying animals that have a genomic profile incorporated into their Expected Progeny Difference (EPD) offers many advantages that allow for quicker breed and herd improvement. Below is a table showing the average increase in accuracy when buying a young animal with a Genomic Enhanced EPD (GE-EPD) versus an animal without a GE-EPD. Similarly, an effective progeny number increase is listed by trait that shows how many progeny equate to a genomic enhancement of a young animal (e.g. yearling). That’s right, buying a young animal that has been genotyped is like having 2-17 progeny, depending on the trait. The proof gained on young, non-parent animals, through a genomic enhancement is valuable and greatly mitigates the risk and allows for more directed selection. Each animal tested is recognized with the AHA GE-EPD logo.

DAIRY
MILK TYPE INFORMATION
A hot topic in the dairy industry today is the growing popularity of A2 beta-casein milk among consumers and dairy farmers. Farmers in many regions of the world are being incentivized to produce A2 milk to meet the growing demand in what is considered to be a healthier alternative to conventional dairy (Zoetis, 2015). However the science behind this trend remains controversial and is not well understood by many consumers and producers. Milk is composed of several solid components including minerals, lactose, fat and protein. There are three notable casein milk proteins: alpha, kappa, and beta-casein. Focusing first on beta casein, there are two different beta casein genes that cattle can have - A1 or A2. These two types of beta casein are found at two different genome locations, so any given bovine will be either A1A1, A1A2 or A2A2 for beta casein. Why does this matter? Studies have found that when a person drinks milk, digestive enzymes interact with A1 and A2 beta-casein proteins in different ways, so they are processed differently within the body. Some believe the A2 gene is more natural, and therefore healthier. That has led to a recent consumer demand for A2A2 milk. True, A2 milk can only be produced from cattle possessing the A2 gene at both locations. So the one and only factor determining whether milk is A1 or A2 lies in the genetic make-up of the animal producing the milk. Similarly the genetic makeup for Kappa-Casein is relevant for those producers looking for better cheese production from their milk source, Beta-Casein Key: • A2A2 bulls are genetically tested as homozygous A2A2 carriers, so they will be guaranteed to pass on an A2 allele to their progeny. • A1A2 bulls are genetically tested as heterozygous, offspring will produce 50% A1 Milk and 50% A2 Milk Kappa-Casein Key: • AA genotype will produce lower amounts of kappa-casein in their milk; least favorable genotype for cheese production • AB genotype will produce intermediate amounts of kappa-casein in their milk • BB genotype will produce higher amounts of kappa-casein in their milk; most favorable genotype for cheese production

SEMEN HANDLING
2024 SIRE DIRECTORY
BEFORE THAWING SEMEN: 1. Check breeding records of each female that is to be bred AI. 2. Have females properly restrained. 3. Have a sleeve, sheath, AI syringe, scissors and paper towels ready. 4. Prepare your water bath at 95°F (35°C), to thaw the semen. 5. AI syringe and sheaths should be approximately 95°F as well (not extremely cold or hot to the touch). THAWING SEMEN AND LOADING AI SYRINGE: 1. Keep semen below frost line in the neck of the semen tank while removing semen. 2. Remove the straw of semen quickly and plunge it the 95°F water bath for 30 seconds. 3. After 30 seconds, remove the thawed semen and dry the straw completely. 4. Inspect the straw to make sure that you have the correct semen for each breeding. 5. Cut approximately 1/2 inch of the crimped end of the straw with clean scissors or Cito cutter. 6. Insert the cut end of the straw into the sheath insert (either green or blue insert). 7. Lock the straw and sheath in place using an O-ring or Spiral style AI syringe. THE INSEMINATION PROCEDURE: 1. Use a new shoulder-length glove for every insemination. 2. Lubricate the glove with clean, non-toxic AI lubricant. 3. Approach the animal cautiously and make her aware of your presence. 4. Lubricate the anus with gloved hand. 5. Gently enter the rectum by forming a cone with your fingers. 6. Gently and thoroughly clean the rectum of manure. 7. Check the reproductive tract for any abnormal conditions. 8. Thoroughly clean manure from and around the vulva with a paper towel prior to inserting the AI syringe. 9. Gently and smoothly pass the syringe through the vagina to the opening of the cervical canal - the external cervical os. 10. Funnel the tip of the syringe into the cervical os. 11. Hold the cervix ahead of the AI syringe’s tip and manipulate the cervical folds or “rings” to allow the syringe to pass through the cervical canal. 12. Avoid passing the syringe through the cervix if pregnancy is suspected. 13. Determine the length of the cervix and place your index finger at the anterior end of the cervix. 14. Gently move the AI syringe tip forward until you feel it with your finger. 15. Pass the syringe tip only as far forward as the uterine body of the cervix. 16. You must be certain the AI syringe tip is not caught in a thin area between the cervical rings. 17. Concentrate on accurate semen placement in the uterine body. 18. Slowly depress the plunger of the AI syringe during semen deposition. 19. If the animal moves, you will want to stop and check the position of the AI syringe, then continue to deposit the semen. 20. Gently remove the syringe and check for abnormal discharge and complete semen deposition. 21. Record the details of the insemination process including when, and to what sire the female was inseminated. 81
