Welcome! Steve and Lori Repenning family

Welcome! A big thank you to all of our past buyers. It is truly humbling to have good friends that have great confidence in our program. I truly love working with cattle finding better ways to improve genetics, increase efficiencies and helping other producers do the same. We have a large amount of information available to us to help improve our goals. One of newer tools that we have today are GE- EPD s (genomic enhanced EPD s). GE-EPD s provide the latest technology to help create more accurate EPD s giving you a higher level of confidence that your purchase will do the job you want. All bulls have been genomically tested. We like to incorporate information sessions with our sale. This year Rod Geppert with the American Angus Association will provide you with information on Angus Programs available to commercial cattlemen that can help improve the bottom line. These programs may or may not fit your program at this time but they may be something that you want to work towards to increase your profit. Rod will speak at 4:00, so come a little early to learn more. We would be glad to help you select a bull. Let us know your herd s goals and we will recommend a few choices. We try to be very selective in mating each cow keeping an even match to her EPD s. The closer the match, the more consistent your outcome. It takes time but it is well worth the effort. You can be confident that you are buying some of the best genetics in the area. Steve and Lori Repenning family

Likewise, AHA is directly estimating accuracy values rather than approximating. The direct estimation of accuracy results in a more conservative value but a more accurate value than previous methodologies. The AHA is producing the most reliable genetic evaluation that is supported by Whole Herd TPR and genomics, which will give prospective buyers added confidence in purchasing young and unproven animals. Buying animals that have a genomic profile incorporated into their Expected Progeny Difference (EPD) offers many advantages that allow for quicker breed and herd improvement. Below is a table showing the average increase in accuracy when buying a young animal with a Genomic Enhanced EPD (GE-EPD) versus an animal without a GE-EPD. Similarly, an effective progeny number increase is listed by trait that shows how many progeny equate to a genomic enhancement of a young animal (e.g. yearling). That s right, buying a young animal that has been genotyped is like having 2-17 progeny, depending on the trait. The proof gained on young, non-parent animals, through a genomic enhancement is valuable and greatly mitigates the risk and allows for more directed selection. Each animal tested is recognized with the AHA GE-EPD logo.

Driving the science of better breeding There s little room for error in the cattle business. Producers need the most advanced information to make smart selection decisions, and Angus Genetics Inc. (AGI) provides it through genomic-enhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs). GE-EPDs have become the industry standard for herd improvement, building on decades of science-backed genetic evaluation tools originated and maintained through the American Angus Association, home to the largest and evergrowing single-breed beef cattle database. EPDs that traditionally contained all pedigree, performance and progeny information now also include results from available genomic, or DNA, tests. Breeders who use genomic technology give buyers access to AGI-generated GE-EPDs that provide: Increased predictability and decreased risk for young and unproven animals due to enhanced accuracy of EPDs Better characterization of genetics for difficult-to-measure performance traits (such as carcass traits, maternal traits and feed efficiency) The ability to make more rapid progress for traits that are important to you, due to: more accurate selection easier identification of genetic outliers the ability to propagate young animals with confidence earlier in their lives In fact, GE-EPDs on unproven animals have the same amount of accuracy as if they had recorded 8-33 calves, depending on the trait. That s valuable insight, offered regularly through the breed s weekly national cattle evaluation.
