2021 AUTUMN BEEF SIRE DIRECTORY Welcome to our 2021 Autumn beef catalogue! Our beef program continues to grow as we add seven new Angus bulls, three Simmental a Red Angus and Charalois. The Angus bulls add diversity in pedigree and number set, while maintaining our desire for superior maternal lines that breed docility, structure and foot quality into our cattle. There is no greater example than the LT Revered bull, a superior maternal bred bull from one of the great cattle breeders in the world, Brent Theil. While we focus on these key traits, most of our bulls are exhibiting muti trait excellence across almost all key indicators. Bulls like GAR Hometown and Ferguson Trailblazer who have seen heavy use in Australia this past year are great examples. Our new Angus, Simmental and Red Angus bulls sit at the top of their respective breeds and should continue to enhance their reputations as we add progeny on the ground.
INDEX OF SIRES
At World Wide Sires we are excited to see our bulls having a positive impact in herds around Australia! Please feel free to visit us at Beef 2021 where we would love to sit down for a chat. Best wishes for a great start to the year. Regards,
Dale & Geoff

EXPECTED PROGENY DIFFERENCES TERMINOLOGY EXPECTED PROGENY DIFFERENCE (EPD) - The expected difference in performance of a bull’s progeny compared to the performance of another sire’s progeny. Accuracy (Acc.) - 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. Proof Positive - Bulls that are .85 or higher accuracy for Birth Weight EPD. TMProof Positive is a trademark of Select Sires Inc. % Rank - Based on percentages, this indicates where a bull’s EPD ranks him in the entire population of his respective breed. Calving Ease Direct (CED) - is the difference in percentage of unassisted births when a sire is bred to first calf heifers. A higher number is desirable. Birth Weight (BW) - 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. Weaning Weight (WW) - 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. Yearling Weight (YW) - 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. Yearling Height (YH) - 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. Residual Average Daily Gain (RADG) - expressed in pounds per day, is a predictor of a sire’s genetic ability for postweaning gain in future progeny compared to that of other sires, given a constant amount of feed consumed. Dry Matter Intake (DMI) - expressed in pounds per day, is a predictor of difference transmitting ability for feed intake during the postweaning phase, compared to that of other sires. Scrotal Circumference (SC) - 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. Calving Ease Maternal (CEM or MCE) - 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. Milk (MILK) - 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. Maternal Weaning Weight (MWW -Simmental); Milk and Growth (M&G - Hereford); Total Maternal (TM - 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. Stayability (STAY - Red Angus & Simmental) - 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. CARCASS TRAITS – EPDs for carcass traits are calculated using weighted averages of yearling ultrasounds and progeny carcass data. Carcass Weight (CW) - 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. Marbling (MARB, IMF) - 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. Ribeye Area (REA) - 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 (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. Yield Grade (YG - 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.
$VALUE INDEXES are multi-trait selection indexes, expressed in dollars per head, to assist beef producers by adding simplicity to genetic selection decisions. The $Value is an estimate of how future progeny of each sire are expected to perform, on average, compared to progeny of other sires in the database if the sires were randomly mated to cows and if calves were exposed to the same environment. ANGUS: Cow Energy Value ($EN) - 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). $EN savings differences account for lactation energy requirements and mature size of cows. Weaned Calf Value ($W) - an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for preweaning merit. $W includes both revenue and cost adjustments associated with differences in birth weight, weaning direct growth, maternal milk and mature cow size. Feedlot Value ($F) - an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for postweaning merit compared to progeny of other sires. Grid Value ($G) - an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for carcass grid merit compared to progeny of other sires. Beef Value ($B) - an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for postweaning and carcass value compared to progeny of other sires. Certified Angus Beef - ®Cerified Angus Beef and CAB are registered trademarks of Certified Angus Beef LLC. 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. SimAngus - SimAngusTM is a trademark of the American Simmental Association. RED ANGUS: HerdBuilder Index (HB) - 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, and all remaining progeny sold on a quality-based carcass grid. GridMaster Index (GM) - 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) and all progeny sold on a quality-based carcass grid. HEREFORD: Baldy Maternal Index (BMI$) - This is an index to maximize profit for commercial cow-calf producers who use Hereford bulls in rotational crossbreeding programs on Angusbased cows. Retained ownership of calves through the feedlot phase of production is maintained and the cattle are to be marketed on a CHB pricing grid. Certified Hereford Beef Index (CHB$) - This is a terminal sire index, where Hereford bulls are used on British-cross cows and all offspring are sold as fed cattle on a CHB pricing grid. There is no emphasis on milk or fertility since all cattle will be terminal. This index promotes growth and carcass. SHORTHORN: British Maternal Index ($BMI) - 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. 34
EXPECTED BREEDING VALUES TERMINOLOGY The following is a brief description of Angus GROUP BREEDPLAN EBVs and $Index Values and Accuracies. For a more detailed explanation of these please refer to the Angus Society of Australia web site (www.angusaustralia.com.au).
RETAIL BEEF YIELD % (RBY%) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in percentage retail beef yield, in a 400Kg carcase. INTRA–MUSCULAR FAT % (IMF%) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in percentage intra-muscular fat (marbling) at the 12/13th rib site, in a 400 Kg carcase.
ACCURACY (%) ~ Provides an indication of the reliability of an EBV. As more performance information becomes available on an animal (or it’s progeny, or relatives) then the accuracy of it’s EBVs for particular traits will increase.
NET FEED INTAKE TRAIL (KG/DAY) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences in feed intake for animals adjusted to the same growth rate and weight base.
CALVING EASE DIR (%) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in the ability of their calves from 2 year old heifers to be delivered without assistance.
DOCILITY (%) ~ Docility EBVs are estimates of genetic differences between animals in temperament. Docility EBVs are expressed as differences in the percentage of progeny that will be scored with acceptable temperament (ie. either “docile” or “restless”).
CALVING EASE DTRS (%) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in the ability of their 2 year old daughters to calve without assistance. GESTATION LENGTH (DAYS) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in the number of days from the date of conception to the calf birth date.
ANGUS BREEDING INDEX ~ Estimates the genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined in a typical commercial self replacing herd using Angus bulls. This selection index is not specific to a particular production system or market end-point, but identifies animals that will improve overall profitability in the majority of commercial grass and grain finishing beef production systems. The Angus Breeding Index is particularly suited to commercial producers who sell progeny into different markets, or to seedstock producers supplying bulls to commercial clients who produce for a range of different production systems and market end points.
BIRTH WT (KG) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in calf birth weight. 200–DAY WT (KG) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in liveweight at 200 days of age. 400–DAY WT (KG) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in liveweight at 400 days of age.
DOMESTIC INDEX ~ Estimates the genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined in a commercial self replacing herd targeting the domestic supermarket trade. Steers are assumed to be finished using either grass, grass supplemented by grain or grain (eg. 50 –70 days) with steers slaughtered at 490 Kg live weight (270 Kg carcase weight with 12 mm P8 fat depth) at 16 months of age. Daughters are retained for breeding and therefore maternal traits are of importance. Emphasis has been placed on eating quality and tenderness to favour animals that are suited to MSA requirements.
600–DAY WT (KG) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in liveweight at 600 days of age. MATURE COW WEIGHT (KG) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in cow weight at 5 years of age. MILK (KG) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in milk production, expressed as variation in 200-day weight of daughter’s calves. SCROTAL SIZE (CM) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in scrotal circumference at 400 days of age.
HEAVY GRAIN INDEX ~ Estimates the genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined in a commercial self replacing herd targeting pasture grown steers with a 200 day feedlot finishing period for the grain fed high quality, highly marbled markets. Steers are assumed to be slaughtered at 760 Kg live weight (420Kg carcase weight with 30 mm P8 fat depth) at 24 months of age. Daughters are retained for breeding and therefore maternal traits are of importance. There is a significant premium for steers that exhibit superior marbling.
DAYS TO CALVING ~ Estimates of the genetic differences in female fertility, expressed as the number of days from the start of the joining period until subsequent calving. CARCASE WEIGHT (KG) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in carcase weight, adjusted to 750 days of age.
HEAVY GRASS INDEX ~ Estimates the genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined in a commercial self replacing herd targeting pasture finished steers. Steers are assumed to be slaughtered at 620 Kg live weight (340 Kg carcase weight with 12 mm P8 fat depth) at 22 months of age. Daughters are retained for breeding and therefore maternal traits are of importance. Emphasis has been placed on eating quality and tenderness to favour animals that are suited to MSA requirements.
EYE MUSCLE AREA (CM2) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in eye muscle area at the 12/13th rib site, in a 400Kg carcase. RIB FAT (MM) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in fat depth at the 12/13th rib site, in a 400 Kg carcase. RUMP FAT (MM) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in fat depth at the P8 rump site, in a 400Kg carcase.
