Calving Ease Direct (CED): Represented as percent of unassisted births of a bull s calves when he is used on heifers. A higher number represents more favorable calving ease. Birth Weight (BW): predicts the difference, in pounds, for birth weight. (actual birth weights can be deceptive as the environment, nutrition, and over due calves are key factors). Weaning Weight (WW): predicts the difference, in pounds, for weaning weight (Adjusted to age of dam and 205 days of age). This an indicator of growth from birth to weaning. Higher number preferred. Yearling Weight YW): predicts the difference, in pounds, for yearling weight (adjusted to a standard 365 days of age). This an indicator of growth from birth to yearling. Higher number preferred. Milk (MK): The genetic ability of a sire s daughters to produce milk expressed in pounds of weaning weight. Total Maternal (TM): An index that combines growth and milk information as a prediction of the weaning weight performance of calves from a sire s daughters. A greater TM value means a mother that returns comparatively higher weaning weights on her calves. TM Index = MK EPD + ½ WW EPD. Yield Grade (YG): Differences in yield grade score, which is a predictor of percent retail product. Smaller values suggest that progeny will have a better lean to fat ratio. WR Mr. Red Dawg 5335 Reg. number: AR Red Angus Sire: Beckton Julian GG B571 BUF CRK Valentino N031 BUF CRK Primrose 5679 LMAN King Rob 8621 Dam: TMAS MS Fortune 114 STRAKA MS Fortune Carcass Weight (CW): Differences in pounds of hot carcass weight, adjusted to an industry standard age endpoint. Higher number preferred. Ribeye Area (REA): Differences in ribeye area in inches between the 12th and 13th rib. Greater ribeye areas are preferable. Marbling (MB): Predicts the differences in the degree of marbling within the ribeye as expressed in marbling score units. Greater marbling numbers are preferable and are an indicator of higher carcass quality grades Feeder Profit Index (FPI): An economic selection index designed to aid producers in selecting sires whose progeny will perform in the feedlot and are sold on grade and yield. Well ranking sires for FPI have higher marbling and carcass weight than their contemporaries. As a terminal index, little emphasis is put on maternal traits such as stayability and calving ease.

5 Sire Selection: A large portion of a ranchers revenue comes from pounds sold on sale day. If you are looking to put your cow herd on the fast-track to herd improvement, sire selection is key to meeting your goals. While we believe structure and phenotype are very important parts of the selection process we encourage you to take into account EPDs and carcass data. Understanding EPD data is a useful tool in making the best sire selection for your herd. A brief description of EPDs is located on page 4 of the catalog. Gelbvieh and Balancer Breed Average EPDs Active Sires CED BW WW YW MK TM ST YG CW REA MB FT FPI Gelbvieh Balancer Gelbvieh and Balancer Breed Average EPDs Active Dams CED BW WW YW MK TM ST YG CW REA MB FT FPI Gelbvieh Balancer Gelbvieh and Balancer Breed Average EPDs - For non-parent animals CED BW WW YW MK TM ST YG CW REA MB FT FPI Gelbvieh Balancer Red Angus Breed Average EPDs - Non-Parent Bulls CED BW WW YW MK TM ST YG CW REA MB FT FPI Red Angus Angus Breed Average EPDs - Non-Parent Bulls CED BW WW YW MK TM ST YG CW REA MB FT FPI Angus NOTE: Bulls will be ultrasounded for carcass data This information will be available on sale day. A selection of the bulls are currently being tested for homo black and homo polled this information will also be available on sale day. PLEASE BRING YOUR CATALOG ON SALE DAY Multi-Breed Genetic Evaluation - All of the AGA EPDs are backed by the industry s largest and most robust multi-breed international genetic evaluation in the world. Growth and carcass EPDs for Gelbvieh and Balancer animals are directly comparable to Simmental, Red Angus, Shorthorn, Limousin and a growing number of other breeds. The multi-breed EPDs combine pedigree, performance, ultrasound, carcass and genomic data into one easy to use set of numbers. Seedstock breeders and their commercial customers can have confidence in the AGA s EPDs to evaluate the genetic merit between breeds for both purebred and hybrid seedstock.

We didn t do a lot of AI breeding the last couple years because we wanted to get a good test on Cow Town, but I couldn t resist using Identity on a few select cows. 405B has the depth and spring of rib of his sire and sports a CED number of 17 which is in the top 3% of the breed. This guy should work on heifers and make heifers that will work. Cody Forbes competes in sales talk contest at the national Barnyard Classic held in Sioux Falls. Lot 6
