Expected progeny differences (EPDs) may look complicated at first, but they are a practical tool for making informed beef cattle breeding decisions. The bulls or replacement heifers you select today will influence herd performance, productivity and profitability for years to come. ▶️The BCRC's new animated video explains how to read and use EPDs in a clear, straightforward way.

Decades ago, I developed a color-coding system for EPDs that simplifies our selection process by clearly identifying the strengths & weaknesses of each animal. It has been a huge benefit in selecting cattle that do the most things right and avoiding animals that produce problems. We have three different color-coding charts for each breed. 1) ALL PURPOSE / MATERNAL for ranchers keeping their own replacement females while the steers are destined for the feedyard and sold on a value-based grid.

What should we add to the list? 🐂 Here at Lazy T, we prioritize quality bull genetics and look at EPDs like PAP score when buying bulls for the ranch. Our cattle spend the summer up on the mountain, so they need to be able to thrive in high elevation. Choosing bulls with low PAP scores prevents sickness within our herd. Genetics are so important. But like most things in ranching, the effects of intentional breeding take years to fully reveal themselves. That’s why EPDs are helpful! They allow u

What is a heifer bull? It’s not a new gender or a non binary bull!That’s what we call our bulls that have EPDs(expected progeny differences) for low birthweights and calving ease. This means their babies will be a little smaller and their daughters will have their babies easier. Because heifers are still growing, a smaller baby will be easier for them to birth. This is why we have special “heifer bulls” to breed them. Share this with someone who may not know what a “Heifer Bull” is! | Rancher Ry
