Understanding Hereford Expected Progeny Differences

Calving Ease Direct (CE) is based on calving ease scores and birth weights and is measured on a percentage. CE EPD indicates the influence of the sire on calving ease in females calving at 2 years of age. For example, if sire A has a CE EPD of 6 and sire B has a CE EPD of -2, then you would expect on average sire A’s calves would be born with an 8% more likely chance of being unassisted when compared to sire B’s calves.

Birth Weight EPD (BW) is an indicator trait for calving ease and is measured in pounds. For example, if sire A has a BW EPD of 3 and sire B has a BW EPD of 6, then you would expect on average, sire B’s calves would come 3 lb. heavier at birth when compared to sire A’s calves. Larger BW EPDs usually, but not always, indicate more calving difficulty.

Weaning Weight EPD (WW) is an estimate of pre-weaning growth that is measured in pounds. For example, if sire A has a WW EPD of 70 and sire B has a WW EPD of 50, then you would expect on average sire A’s calves would weigh 20 lb. heavier at weaning when compared to sire B’s calves.

Yearling Weight EPD (YW) is an estimate of post-weaning growth that is measured in pounds. For example, if sire A has a YW EPD of 100 and sire B has a YW EPD of 70, then you would expect on average sire A’s calves would weigh 30 lb. heavier at a year of age when compared to sire B’s calves.

Maternal Milk EPD (MILK) the milking ability of a sire’s daughters is expressed in pounds of calf weaned. It predicts the difference in average weaning weights of sires’ daughters’ progeny due to milking ability. Daughters of the sire with a 30 MM EPD should produce progeny with 205-day weights averaging 15 lb. more (as a result of greater milk production) than daughters of a bull with a 15 MM EPD.

Maternal Milk & Growth (M&G) reflects what the sire is expected to transmit to his daughters for a combination of growth genetics through weaning and genetics for milking ability. It is an estimate of daughters’ progeny weaning weight. A bull with a 29 lb. M&G EPD should sire daughters with progeny weaning weights averaging 19 lb. heavier than progeny of a bull’s daughters with a M&G EPD of 10 lb. (29 minus 10 = 19 lb.). It is equal to one-half the sire’s weaning weight EPD, plus all of his MM EPD. No accuracy is associated with this since it is simply a mathematical combination of two other EPDs.

Rib Fat (FAT) reflects differences in adjusted 365-day, 12thrib fat thickness based on carcass measurements of harvested cattle. Sires with low, or negative FAT EPDs are expected to produce leaner progeny than sires with higher EPDs. Ultrasound measures are also incorporated into this trait and have been shown to be highly correlated with the performance of slaughter progeny. All data is expressed on a carcass scale.

Rib-eye Area (REA) reflect differences in an adjusted 365-day rib-eye area measurement based on carcass measurements of harvested cattle. Sires with relatively higher REA EPDs are expected to produce better-muscled and higher percentage yielding slaughter progeny than will sires with lower REA EPDs. Ultrasound measurements are also incorporated into this trait and have been shown to be highly correlated with the performance of slaughter progeny.

Marbling EPD (MARB) reflect differences in an adjusted 365-day marbling score (intramuscular fat, [IMF]) based on carcass measurements of harvested cattle. Higher MARB EPDs should produce slaughter progeny with a higher degree of IMF and therefore higher quality grades. Ultrasound measurements are also incorporated into this trait and have been shown to be highly correlated with the performance of slaughter progeny.

Baldy Maternal Index ($BMI) a maternally focused index that is based on a production system that uses Hereford x Angus cross cows. Progeny of these cows are directed towards Certified Hereford Beef. This index has significant weight on Sustained Cow Fertility, which predicts fertility and longevity of females. There is a slightly positive weight on Weaning Weight, Mature Cow Weight and Milk which accounts for enough growth but ensures females do not increase inputs. Also, but a positive weighting on Carcass Weight which is anticipated to provide profitability from finishing of non-replacement. Females and castrated males. Marbling and Rib-eye Area are also positively weighted to keep the harvested progeny successful for CHB. This index is geared to identify Hereford bulls that will be profit- able when used in a rotational cross with mature commercial Angus cows.

Certified Hereford Beef Index ($CHB) is a terminal sire index that is built on a production system where Hereford bulls are mated to mature commercial Angus cows and all progeny will be targeted for Certified Hereford Beef after the finishing phase. This index has significant weight on Carcass Weight to ensure profit on the rail. As well there is a positive weighting for Average Daily Gain along with a negative weighting on Dry Matter Intake to ensure efficient pounds of growth in the finishing phase. Keep in mind, this production system takes advantage of complimentary breeding with the commercial Angus cow. Although Marbling is weighted positively in this index, a positive weighting for Rib-eye Area and a negative weighting for Back Fat are a greater priority in this index to allow for optimum end-product merit.

Ratios are based on contemporary groups. Average within the group would be a 100 ratio. 110 would be 10% higher than average. Generally, a lower ratio = smaller

Homozygous Polled These bulls have a 99.99% probability of being homozygous polled, having been verified through DNA testing. All calves from these sires will be polled

Heterozygous (Hetro) Polled These bulls are polled but carry one polled gene and one horned gene, therefore, they may sire horned calves when mated to horned cows or other heterozygous polled cows.

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.

Buying animals that have a genomic profile incorporated into their Expected Progeny Difference offers many advantages that allow for quicker breed and herd improvement. Below is a table average increase in accuracy when buying a young animal with a Genomic Enhanced EPD an animal without a GE-EPD. Similarly, an effective progeny number increase is listed by how many progeny equate to a genomic enhancement of a young animal (e.g. yearling). That’s a young animal that has been genotyped is like having 2-17 progeny, depending on the trait. gained on young, non-parent animals, through a genomic enhancement is valuable and greatly the risk and allows for more directed selection.

The American Hereford Association (AHA) has embraced the use of genomics into their genetic by launching a first of its kind single step analysis that utilizes the marker effects of specific AHA is directly estimating accuracy values rather than approximating. The direct estimation results in a more conservative value but a more accurate value than previous methodologies. producing the most reliable genetic evaluation that is supported by Whole Herd TPR™ and 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 offers many advantages that allow for quicker breed and herd improvement.
