NATURAL CALVES VS. EMBRYO CALVES

Why?

Natural calves, or those born from A.I. or herd bulls, are raised by their own mothers…a purebred, registered Angus cow. On the other hand, our embryo calves are raised by commercial recipient cows which may be black, red, blady and so on.

Because these recipients aren’t registered purebred Angus cows…the American Angus Association doesn’t recognize their birth and weaning weight as an official, accepted weight.

So, as you study the birth and weaning information on bulls from embryo transfer, we recommend using EPDs instead of the actual birth and weaning figures. We still list the actual birth and weaning weights on all our embryo calves but, remember that the embryo calf didn’t have the same advantage of our natural born calves that were born from and raised by a purebred, registered Angus cow.

Every bull from our embryo herd will be designated by the letters “ET” behind their BW and WW figures.
