Bull buyers increasingly insist on tested bulls. HD 50K delivers the information buyers want:

• GE-EPDs, indexes for 13 traits, two indexes, plus parentage verifications
• HD 50K for Red Angus genotypes are included in the International Genetic Solutions (IGS), multi-breed single-step genetic evalutation
• The resulting accuracy from HD 50K marker information and verified parentage is equivalent to an initial progeny proof of roughly a dozen calves, depending upon the trait¹

Reduce selection and breeding mistakes—with HD 50K you get to know now:

• Heifer bulls: GE-EPDs for calving ease direct and birth weight have accuracies roughly equivalent to bulls with 22 and 13 progeny, respectively¹
• Growth/carcass bulls: GE-EPDs for growth and carcass merit have accuracies roughly equivalent to bulls with 15 and 10 progeny, respectively¹
• All-purpose bulls: GE-EPDs for applicable traits have accuracies roughly equivalent to bulls with 12 progeny/carcasses/daughters¹
• For females, GE-EPDs deliver more accuracy than a typical lifetime of progeny performance information contributing to traditional genetic evaluation²
