Relationship of Beef Sire Birth Weight and Weaning Weight Expected Progeny Differences to Actual Performance of Crossbred Offspring
Performance records from 1982 to 1992 on 1365 calves for birth weight (BW) and 1492 calves for weaning weight (WW) were analyzed to estimate relationships of purebred sire expected progeny difference (EPD) values for BW and W W to actual crossbred progeny performance. Sires of the calves were Polled Hereford, Simmental, Angus, Salers, Tarentaise, or Charolais. The pooled-across-breed regression...
متن کاملMATERNAL PERFORMANCE OF FIRST-CALF CROSSBRED BEEF COWS IN RELATION TO SIRE EXPECTED PROGENY DIFFERENCES (EPDs)
Cumulative milk production of crossbred daughters of sires of several breeds was estimated using weigh-suckle-weigh procedures. Pooled-across-breed analyses were conducted to determine, in retrospect, relationships of sire expected progeny difference (EPD) values for milk and total maternal value to daughter milk yield and daughter's offspring weaning weight. The pooled coefficient for regressi...

متن کاملRelationships between Performance Traits, Individual Expected Progeny Differences and Sale Prices of Centrally Tested Bulls
Postweaning records were collected on 7,428 bulls completing gain tests from 1981 to 1994 at Oklahoma BEEF, Inc. Central Bull Test Station. A total of 3085 bulls (A=806 Angus, B=497 Brangus, H=533 Hereford, P=601 Polled Hereford, C=399 Charolais and L=249 Limousin) completed the 140-day test from 1981 to 1986. From 1987 to 1994, performance data were collected on 4343 bulls (A=2384 Angus, B=487...
متن کاملRelationship of sire expected progeny differences to milk yield in Brangus cows.
Milk yield from 160 Brangus cows sired by 65 Brangus bulls was measured over a 3-yr period with a single-cow milking machine to estimate the relationship of actual milk yield of daughters and their calves' BW with cow sire EPD for milk during the preweaning period. Milk yield was measured six times per year at an average 49, 78, 109, 138, 168, and 198 d postpartum. The regression of daughters' ...
