IDENTIFY THE SUPERIOR GENETICS IN YOUR HERD TODAY
MORE ACCURATE AND PROFITABLE GENETIC DECISIONS
- Distributed by the Red Angus Association of America (RAAA)
- Predict the genetic merit of Red Angus, and red gene carrier Black Angus animals
- Delivers GE-EPDs that integrate genomic results with pedigree and performance data from the RAAA
- More accurate GE-EPDs and indexes, parentage verification for hard-to-measure traits
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
Selection and mating decisions are more profitable when you have HD 50K-enhanced information to:
- Empower mating decisions for a lifetime of more valuable seedstock progeny
- Determine which heifers to keep and breed for replacement, to sell as seedstock or to cull
- Identify elite females for embryo transfer or in vitro fertilization
- Decide which bulls to keep, to sell for breeding purposes or to market
