EPD s are expressed in units of measure for each trait. For Example: Weaning Weight EPD (WW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire s ability to transmit weaning growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires. Bull A WW EPD: +50 Bull B WW EPD: +60 A producer can expect Bull B to sire calves that weigh 10 lbs more at weaning than Bull A assuming that the bulls are exposed to similar cows, similar environment, and similar management. EPD s are a very good tool to use in bull selection. The American Angus Association strongly encourages breeders and users of Angus genetics to use EPD s as the genetic improvement tool of choice. EPD s account for all the available information on an animal individual measures, progeny data, pedigree and genomic result.
