Young, non-parent Brangus animals, GE-EPDs powered by HD50K have higher accuracy and less potential error.
Higher accuracy is roughly equal to 10-20 progeny equivalents, with performance data contributing to conventional EPDs.
The end result is fewer breeding mistakes and faster, more dramatic genetic advancements in productivity.
Commercial users of Brangus genetics can more dependably buy bulls for prescribed purposes if based on GE-EPDs powered by HD50K.
Brangus bulls for low birth weight and ease of calving when bred to replacement heifers can be purchased with more confidence and fewer surprises in the form of assisted births.
Brangus bulls can also be identified for the purposes of siring productive replacement heifers (Milk, Calving Ease Maternal-CEM and Scrotal Circumfrence-SC) and/or for producing steers with higher gains (Yearling Weight-YW) in the feedyard and more valuable carcasses (Marbling-IMF and Ribeye Area-REA).
The investment by Brangus seedstock producers thus enables commercial customers to do a better job of buying bulls that are more dependably matched to their specific needs.
