Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs)
EPDs predict how an animal’s offspring will perform compared to others in the breed, using pedigree and performance data. They are the most reliable measure of genetic merit and help producers select traits that align with their operation’s goals and environment.
Birth Weight (BW): Predicts calf size at birth and calving ease.
Weaning Weight (WW): Indicates growth to weaning (205-day adjusted).
Yearling Weight (YW): Measures growth to one year (365-day adjusted).
Milk (MK): Reflects the dam’s milk contribution to weaning weight.
Total Maternal (TM): Combines Milk and WW to show maternal ability.
Scrotal Circumference (SC): Indicator of bull fertility and heifer puberty.
Heifer Pregnancy (HP): Likelihood a heifer conceives as a yearling.
Breed Back (BB): Likelihood a two-year-old rebreeds after first calving.
Carcass Weight (CW): Predicts differences in hot carcass weight.
Ribeye Area (REA): Indicates muscling between the 12th–13th ribs.
Marbling (MB): Predicts intramuscular fat and carcass quality.
Backfat (FT): Measures fat thickness over the ribeye.
Index Definitions
Balanced Index
For herds retaining replacements and marketing feeders on carcass value; includes all traits except Carcass Weight and Backfat.
Cow/Calf Index
For herds selling calves at weaning; emphasizes fertility, growth, and maternal traits.
Terminal Index
For herds marketing on carcass merit; focuses on growth and carcass quality.
Breed Levels Explained
Santa Gertrudis
Cattle designated as Purebred Santa Gertrudis are qualified to register as such with Santa Gertrudis Breeders International.
American Cruz
Cattle designated as American Cruz are a blend of Santa Gertrudis (SG) and Red Angus (AR) genetics.
Docility Scoring
Each bull is evaluated individually on horseback to assess his response to pressure and interaction in a working ranch environment. This method provides a consistent and realistic measure of temperament and ease of management. Because these cattle are not accustomed to being handled on foot, evaluations are conducted in conditions that reflect how they are typically managed. While disposition varies among individuals, these scores offer useful insight for selecting bulls suited to your operation and handling environment.
Scoring Scale
1 — Calm: Bull remains relaxed and moves quietly during evaluation.
2 — Alert: Bull shows mild awareness or increased pace when evaluated.
3 — Reactive: Bull shows noticeable unease or defensiveness under pressure.
Testimonials

King Ranch’s representatives demonstrated deep expertise in matching bull profiles to specific operational goals, such as optimizing maternal and carcass traits. The extensive data provided and their willingness to discuss, made the process very efficient and provided high confidence in our selection.
