UPDATE We have sold most of the heifers, but still have a few that we have started breeding on. Those heifers are still available, and we will have the new 2021 list of open heifer calves posted after weaning this fall, usually posted in early October, so keep checking back for that!
We are once again offering the following group of heifers for sale by private treaty. We have more good heifers than we have room to keep here, and we feel these 23 heifers will make excellent cows. They have all been 50K tested, and those results are now reflected in their EPDs. We have added yearling data and pelvic area measurements, and carcass ultrasound measurements to the data. Feel free to call or email if you have any questions. We would be happy to show them to you!
The Red Angus Association of America recently 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 March 18, 2021. 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 #):
