Do NEW Angus cows get better EPDs than OLD Angus cows? EXPECTED PROGENY DIFFERENCE

Kelli Retallick, director of genetic and genomic programs, explains the differences in old and new genetics, how they contribute to the genetic evaluation, and how Angus Herd Improvement Records (AHIR) are reflected in EPD calculations. To answer these questions, Retallick uses a case study to show how the American Angus Association accurately calculates EPDS.

Does this video answer your questions on this topic? What other questions do you have?

[@patrickjackson2678]

I need more pictures of data being discussed. Confusing with so many words and no picture to correlate.

@@patrickjackson2678 GREAT Feedback Patrick! This is something we can improve in future videos. Appreciate you taking the time to let us know.

Ok, R R Rito 707 (5770651) born in 1967 and was the first bull to weigh 1300 Lbs at one year of age, with a YW EPD of +29. How is it today a YW of +165 is in the top 1% but doesn't weigh more than 1400 lbs? Honest Question.

angus cattle are not purebred, 100 years ago they were called improved galloways.

Hired yuppies for the commercial. Be careful, folks are catching on.
