Birth Wt.: Actual birth weight. 205 Adj: Weaning weight adjusted to 205 days of age 205 Ratio: An within-herd index of a calf s weaning weight Cum ADG: Average Daily Gain for the entire feedlot test period computed from actual weaning weight to yearling weight EPDs: Expected Progeny Differences are estimates based on the data of the individual animal and his relatives in all the different herds across the breed s population. EPD s figures are in actual pounds, plus (+) or minus (-) for each trait. Those below would be minus (-) and those above average would be plus (+). You can expect these differences in the actual weight of your bull s calves. EPDs predict the transmitting ability of each bull when compared with the many thousands of bulls in each breed. EPD Note: You can compare the purebred Nichols Angus, purebred South Devons and South Devon Hybrids because their base point has been adjusted to the Angus base. You can not compare EPD s between Nichols pure-bred Simmentals. pure bred Angus and Nichols Composites. Nichols pure-bred Simmentals and Simmental Hybrids are on the Simmental base.

4 Pen C Nichols Best SX-1 Bulls What is a Nichols Hybrid Bull? Nichols Hybrids are the result of crossing two Registerd Purebred parents to combine the best traits of two breeds. Their predicted EPDs are as accurate as purebreds. A Nichols Hybrid bull s heterois (cross bred vigor) is transmitted to his offspring. Plus, his calves are more uniform than back crossing purebreds. Virtually all poultry, swine, and grain genetics are the result of systematic composite breeding.

USDA Meat Animal Research Center Nichols Hybrids and Composites are the result of crossing two or more pure lines in specific crosses to maximize the best traits of the grandparent lines. All Nichols lines are black and polled. A Composite bull s heterois (cross bred vigor) is transmitted to his offspring. Plus, his calves are more uniform in type, performance, and carcass characteristics than back crossing purebreds. Virtually all poultry, swine, and grain genetics are the result of systematic composite breeding.
