The Ranchers’ Guide to EPD’S THE RANCHERS GUIDE TO EPD’S GUIDE FOR USING EPD’S The bull is merely a delivery system for the genetics he passes on. Performing this job requires them to be sound, fertile and athletic. However, it is the reliability of their genetic predictions that ultimately bear out their true value to producers’ bottom line. Remember, the market you seek to participate in is just as much a part of your environment as rainfall and available feed stuffs. Target your market and work backwards to find the right bulls. Performing this task can well be summarized in these three steps: 1. Know the markets you wish to hit - feeder calves, yearling, replacement females. 2. Have a true appraisal of how close your cow herd is to that target, understanding your cows have to continue to live and reproduce in your environment. 3. Identify bulls whose EPD’s predict the abiity to move your cow herd in the right direction for the traits required to hit your market end point. For example - suppose your old herd bull has a Yearling Weight EPD of +45. You buy a new bull with a Yearling Weight EPD of +65. How much will the new bull boost your calves’ yearling weights? The answer... “Who knows?” We cannot predict how much performance will change from one year to the next because of varying environmental conditions (rainfall, temperature, available feed, etc.). However, we do know this: the calves raised in the same contemporary group sired by the new bull will have the genetics to weigh an average of 20 pounds more at 365 days of age than calves sired by the old bulls. - 2 - EPD’s are one of several tools that should be used together in order to ensure that you find the best bulls for your needs and long term goals. EPD’s do not indicate how any pounds will be added to a herd’s average by using a particular bull. Only the differences among bulls are relevant. EPD’s can, and probably will, change on a bull as more information is added. In fact, every bull evaluated will get a new set of EPD’s the next time the association conducts genetic evaluation. EPD’s cannot be compared across breeds. BIRTH WEIGHT (BW): Expressed in pounds. Best estimate of differences in birth weight. Higher EPD’s mean higher birth weights. WEANING WEIGHTS (WW): Expressed in pounds. Best estimate of overall growth. Higher EPD’s mean more yearling weight. MILK: The genetic ability of a sire’s daughters to produce milk. Expressed in pounds of weaning weight. TOTAL MATERNAL (TM): A value combing growth and milk information. A prediction of the weaning weight performance of calves from a sire’s daughters.
