It was recently announced that BLC Angus Ranch in Tecumseh owns two bulls listed in the 2009 Fall Sire Evaluation Report published by the American Angus Association in Saint Joseph, Mo.
Issued in the spring and fall, the new report features the latest performance information available on 6,305 sires and is accessible at www.angussiresearch.com.
“This report provides both Angus breeders and commercial cattle producers using Angus genetics with accurate, predictable selection tools for improving their herd,” said Bill Bowman, American Angus Association chief operating officer and director of performance programs.
Expected Progeny Differences, or EPDs, are generated from the performance database of the American Angus Association, which includes information submitted by over 9,400 Angus breeders this past year through the Association’s Beef Improvement Records, or BIR, program.
The fall 2009 evaluation includes updated research reports for heifer pregnancy and docility.
The semiannual analysis for the Sire Evaluation Report contains more than 17 million measures used to generate more than 51 million EPDs for the Angus breed.
