Twelve BULL BUYER S QUICK GUIDE TO ASA EPDS AND $ INDEXES What are? Definition of Terms SPRING 20 ASA HYBRID SIMMENTAL PERNTAGE TABLE SPRING 20 ASA PUREBRED SIMMENTAL PERNTAGE TABLE Back Fat (): Inches of backfat. Birth Weight (): Pounds of birth weight. Calving Ease (): Percent of unassisted births when used on heifers. Carcass Weight (): Pounds of carcass weight. Maternal Calving Ease (): Percent of unassisted births in first-calving daughters. (MLK): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk. ling (MRB): ling score. Maternal Weaning Weight (): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk and growth. Ribeye Area (): Square inches of ribeye. Stayability (): Percent of daughters remaining in the cowherd at years of age. Terminal Index (): Dollars per cow exposed under a terminal-sire scenario. Weaning Weight (): Pounds of weaning weight. Yearling Weight (): Pounds of yearling weight. Yield Grade (): Yield grade score. N O T E V A L U A T E D Expected Progeny Differences (): are the most accurate and effective tool available for comparing genetic levels. In using, the difference between two sires represents the unit difference expected in the performance of their progeny. For example, if sires A and B have of +10 and, a 1-unit difference would be expected in their progeny (moving from - to +10 yields 1 units). Key to using is knowing what units they are expressed in. For example, if the above case referred to weaning weight, A would be expected to sire 1-pounds more weaning weight than B. If calving ease were the trait, A would be expected to sire 1- percent more unassisted births in first-calf heifers; in other words, if B sired 30 assists in a group of 100 heifers, we d expect A to require 1 assists. A percentile-ranking chart is required to determine where a bull s rank him relative to other bulls in the breed. What are Indexes? Though allow for the comparison of genetic levels for many economically important traits, they only provide a piece of the economic puzzle. That s where $ indexes come in. Through well conceived, rigorous mathematical computation, $ indexes blend and economics to estimate an animal s overall impact on your bottom line. The same technology that led to the dramatic progress in swine, poultry and dairy genetics over the last several decades was used to develop these $ indexes: All-Purpose Index (): Evaluates sires for use on the entire cow herd (bred to both Angus first-calf heifers and mature cows) with the portion of their daughters required to maintain herd size retained and the remaining heifers and steers put on feed and sold grade and yield. Terminal Index (): Evaluates sire for use on mature Angus cows with all offspring put on feed and sold grade and yield. Using and : First, determine which index to use; if you re going to keep replacements use, if not,. Then, just as with, zero in on the unit difference between bulls. (As described above, index units are in dollars per cow exposed.) The difference can be used to determine how much a bull is worth compared to another. Or, put another way, how much you can pay for one bull compared to another. For example, when buying an all-purpose-type sire, you can quickly figure a bull scoring +100 for is worth an extra $,000 over a +0 bull if both are exposed to 30 cows over years ($0 diff. x 30 hd. x yr. = $,000). A percentile-ranking chart is required to determine where a bull s index value ranks him relative to other bulls in the breed.
