Issued in both the spring and fall, the new report features the latest performance information available on 5921 sires, and is currently accessible at www.angussiresearch.com.
“This report provides both Angus breeders and commercial cattle producers using Angus genetics with accurate, predictable selection tools for improving their herd,” says Sally Northcutt, genetic research director.
Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs) are generated from the performance database of the American Angus Association, which includes information submitted by nearly 9000 Angus breeders this past year through the association’s Beef Improvement Records
The semi-annual analysis for the Sire Evaluation Report utilizes nearly 20 million measures used to generate more than 59 million EPDs for the Angus breed.
