WELCOME FROM OBI LIVESTOCK LTD.
I welcome you all to the 20th Annual Rainbow Hills Ranch Bull & Female Sale.
The Rainbow Hills Ranch is a family run operation located near Delburne, Ab. They continue to be a seedstock source for central Alberta. This is our first year working for this family and what you can count on is buying from Good People. They will take care of your needs today and in the future. The bulls are not pushed and built for longevity for their commercial customers. The 2-year-olds are fed right on a large pen so they can travel and exercise.
The heifers on offer come right off their tremendous cow herd. Well-developed, well-made females that have some extra value to them this year. Quite the heifer pen they have this year.
If I can assist you on any way, please do not hesitate to contact, OBI, any of the sales staff or the Beck family for your inquiries. See you April 10th at the Ranch.

UNDERSTANDING AND USING EPDS AND GENOMIC TECHNOLOGY
Expected progeny differences (EPDs) are genetic selection tools that provide producers a measure of an animal’s genetic merit for traits that are economically relevant to their operation. Basically, EPDs are a measure of how an animal’s progeny can be expected to perform, on average.
An animal’s genetics will contribute in part to how it performs. A portion of that performance is also dictated by the environment provided to that animal. The environment includes weather, disease, feed, stress, handling, vaccination protocols, maternal environment, housing, and the animal group dynamics. The environment differs for each herd as geography and producer management plays a large role in environment. EPDs remove the environment from all traits measured and provide producers with an estimate of the genetics that contribute towards each trait.
EPDs are:
• A prediction of how an animal’s progeny will perform
• A genetic selection tool
• Used to compare animals across different environments
Genomics are:
• Used to parent verify animals for guaranteed pedigrees
• Used to calculate EPDs for animals that don’t have a phenotype for a particular trait
• Used to calculate more accurate EPDs, especially for younger animals
• Used to calculate EPDs for new and expensive to measure traits,like High Immune Response
