We are once again offering the following group of open heifers for sale by private treaty. We have more good heifers than we have room to keep here, and we feel these heifers will make excellent cows. They have all been 50K tested, and those results are now reflected in their EPDs. We have also collected yearling and carcass ultrasound data on the heifers that were here at that point and have included that data in the spreadsheet as well. Feel free to call or email if you have any questions. We would be happy to show them to you!
A few years ago, the Red Angus Association of America revamped their selection indices, changing the formulas for how they are calculated, as well as adding a new third index, called the Profitability and Sustainability Index (abbreviated ProS). The new ProS index is a multi-purpose index, combining the traits that influence the Herdbuilder (maternal) index and the Gridmaster (terminal) index. If you have questions about these indices and how to use them in your selection decisions, feel free to reach out to us. Also, to get a feel for where these animals’ indices and EPDs rank within the Red Angus breed, click on the following link to go to the Red Angus Association’s EPD percentiles chart.
Also, with the new BOLT EPDs, the EPDs will be calculated and published every week instead of twice per year, meaning that the animals’ current EPDs might vary slightly from the EPDs listed here. These EPDs are current as of April 3, 2024. For the most up to date EPDs, click the following link to the Red Angus Association’s database and search with the animal’s registration number (Reg #):
