QUICK REFERENCE

TO ASA EPDS AND $ INDEXES

Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs): EPDs are the most accurate and effective tool available for comparing genetic levels. In using EPDs, the difference between two sires’ EPDs represents the unit difference expected in the performance of their progeny. For example, if sires A and B have EPDs of +10 and –5, a 15-unit difference would be expected in their progeny (moving from -5 to +10 yields 15 units). Key to using EPDs is knowing what units they are expressed in. For example, if the above case referred to weaning weight EPDs, A would be expected to sire 15-pounds more weaning weight than B. If calving ease were the trait, A would be expected to sire 15-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 15 assists. A percentile-ranking chart is required to determine where a bull’s EPDs rank him relative to other bulls in the breed. For percentile rankings or more detailed information about EPDs and $ indexes visit www. simmental.org. Listed below are the units ASA EPDs are expressed in:

Calving Ease (CE): Percent of unassisted births when used on heifers.

Birth Weight (BW): Pounds of birth weight

Weaning Weight (WW): Pounds of weaning weight.

Yearling Weight (YW): Pounds of yearling weight.

Maternal Calving Ease (MCE): Percent of unassisted births in first-calving daughters.

Milk (Milk): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk.

Maternal Weaning Weight (MWW): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk and growth.

Marbling (Marb): Marbling score.

Ribeye Area (REA): Square inches of ribeye.

All-Purpose Index (API): Dollars per cow exposed under an all-purpose-sire scenario. (See below for more details.)

Additional EPDs not shown in catalog: Stayability (STAY): Percent of daughters remaining in the cowherd at 6 years of age

Back Fat (BF): Inches of backfat.

Carcass Weight (CW): Pounds of carcass weight. Yield Grade (YG): Yield grade score.

Warner-Bratzler Shear Force (WBSF): Pounds of force required to shear a steak.

Terminal Index (TI): Dollars per cow exposed under a terminal-sire scenario. (See below for more details.)

$ Indexes: Though EPDs 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 EPDs 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 the following $ indexes: All-Purpose Index (API): 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 (TI): Evaluates sire for use on mature Angus cows with all offspring put on feed and sold grade and yield. Using API and TI: First, determine which index to use; if you’re keeping replacements use API, if not, TI. Then, just as with EPDs, 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 API is worth an extra $6,000 over a +50 bull if both are exposed to 30 cows over 4 years ($50 diff. x 30 hd. x 4 yr. = $6,000). A percentile-ranking chart is required to determine where a bull’s index value ranks him relative to other bulls in the breed.

KBHR Revolution H071 BULLS

Revolution the highly anticipated young baldy bull from Keller’s! We fell in love with his massive appearance and

striking presence . At first glance you notice his POWER and then once you study him you see his smooth joints and nice shoulder. Very rare in Simmentals! Our partners Mertz family and I decided to hold his semen off the market and keep in herd use. This will be the first ever sons to sell this spring and we’re very happy with what we’re bringing to town. Revolution sired calves are longer, wider, better jointed and HEAVIER than any others! Get your hands on one of these Revolutions they will over haul your calf crop.

CLRWTR GAME CHANGER H4A BULLS

Game Changer definitelyis living up to the name! We loved his Sire CDI Innovator for scale pounding weights at

weaning time. We are confident in saying Game Changer calves will BLOW YOU AWAY with the shape, muscle and presence! He delivers CE,BW, YW, MARBLING. Jarron and I decided we wanted to test Game Changer out before we made him available to you. Jury still out on the availability of his semen. One thing I know is don’t miss the opportunity to select a true BEEF bull from his sire group.

TJ GOLD 274G BULLS

Gold comes from a highly respected breeder in Triangle J from Nebraska. He did exactly

what we were looking for in this flush to CLRS Beauty Queen 420B senior donor. Gold delivered a consistent set of brothers that excel in CE, BW, Marbling, API. If you’re looking for bulls that will come easy, grow nicely, and have muscle then Gold is your guy. I’m sure someone will find a trophy here to move forward with!

OMF EPIC E27 BULLS

Epic will be at the top of the list this year in Semen sales for the Simmental breed. He

delivers a very functional moderate birth weight calf with tons of vigor. Although his calves come small at birth they will run with any sire in the lineup and make Fertile bulls and females. A sire you can breed just about any type of female to get a consistent calf every time that will move you forward. By the way his daughters in production have the best udders on the farm. Epic is here to stay for the long haul, if you haven’t used him you’re missing a great one!!

LCDR FAVOR 149F BULLS

Favor was the lead sire for many ranchers out West last year topping sales all over the

Country. One of the Many great sons of WS Miss Sugar C4 donor. Favor complements our Southern Iowa cow base really well, he adds muscle, performance, and scale pounding progeny. He calves very well and has been used successfully on heifers on the ranch. We feel he mates very well to Angus based cows that need dimension and performance. He will continue to lead the way for performance and Rib-eye here at Schooley Cattle. His first daughters are doing a nice job a first calf heifers!

SCHOOLEY HAGGARD A411H BULLS

Haggard was our top selling bull in 2020 to River Creek Farms Kansas. EGL Firesteel/823F

son who will take over for his sire here at ranch. His mother 823F is starting to write her own story of one of the greats in the breed. We sampled Haggard on a flush and virgin heifers and he delivered some very nice calves. His boys look like bulls and his daughters will make cows. His numbers have continued to lead the way for our SimAngus program. Look for Haggard to add Phenotype, CE, YW, Marbling! He will be used much more this spring. Get in on this guy!

Schooley King 796K

Guarantee the lone PB Angus in the lineup but not to be outdone by the Simmy boys! Breeders all over the country are realizing how good they are for CE, WW, YW, Docility! He breeds very high volume, 3 dimensional ,Fertile progeny that have excellent dispositions. He mates really well with Simmental cattle as well. Guarantee will deliver better Angus cattle then you been getting, they will flat out grow with real shape and muscle. We kept many of his 2 year old bred back and looking forward to them in production! We GUARANTEE you will love em!
