Understanding and Utilizing EPDs to Select Bulls
نویسنده
چکیده
Beef sire selection decisions have a major impact on future calf crops and ultimately on profitability. Using available selection tools can help make better bull buying choices. A critical place to start when beginning the herd sire selection decision process is to evaluate the cow herd(s) that the sires will service. From these herd assessments, profiles of desirable herd sires can be developed. Then expected progeny differences (EPDs) and other selection tools can be used to make informed sire selection decisions.

Estimating the Economic Value of Specific Characteristics Associated with Angus Bulls Sold at Auction
The genetic traits of a purebred bull convey the reproductive and economic value to buyers. This study examines and compares the value of actual production weights (birth, weaning, and yearling weight), production expected progeny differences (EPDs) (birth, weaning, milk, and yearling), and ultrasound EPDs (carcass quality predictors) for purebred Angus bulls sold at auction. One EPD, birth wei...
متن کاملHow to Use Commercially Available Genomic Predictions
IMPLICATIONS Genomic predictions for commercial cattle can be used to select replacement heifers, design mating strategies, and market calves. Presently, two companies (Igenity and Zoetis) offer genomic tests for commercial cattle. Like expected progeny differences (EPDs) on young bulls, these genomic tests do not perfectly predict genetic merit. However, these tests will be useful for identify...
متن کاملEvaluation of Beef Carcass Merit With Ultrasound
Carcass EPDs are becoming common in this era when more economically important traits are being added to national cattle evaluation programs. Traditionally, carcass traits were evaluated solely using progeny tests. One limitation to progeny testing is, of course, cost. Also, for bulls to be evaluated in such a program, he must produce progeny on which carcass data are collected. This is a proces...
متن کاملBeyond Bull Breeding Soundness Evaluations ( BSEs )
The capability of bulls to distribute their genetics is dependant upon their fertility, whether they are used for natural breeding or A.I. In turn, herd reproductive performance has been shown to have a greater impact on economic returns than either growth rate or product quality (Wiltbank 1994). Here, chute-side math indicates it takes approximately 5 generations (15 years) using bulls of 10% ...
متن کاملUsage and Interpretation of Genetic Information
No. EPDs are not additive, they are used to compare differences between two animals. If over the course of 4 years you use a different bull each year (with birth weight EPDs of +2, +3, +5, and +5), you have NOT added 15 lbs of actual birth weight to your calf crop. By difference, you have added only 5 lbs of birth weight to your calves, and that assumes you were using a bull with a low birth we...
