Understanding DNA Information
Every bull that sells in the sale has an exceptionally high accuracy on his EPDs because of DNA testing.
IIn an effort to increase what we know about the heritable traits on the bulls in the offering, and so we could be able to share this with
you, we drew blood on each bull in the sale then sent it in to Igenity and Angus Genetics Inc. at the American Angus Association. The
result is an EPD with a much higher predictability so you should be able to have more confidence in each trait and better
know what to expect in the calves out of the bulls you purchase at Lyons Ranch.
EPDs, Expected Progeny Differences, allow producers to make comparisons between cattle within the breed and have been around
for many years. A young, unproven bull with no sons or daughters recorded at the American Angus Association will have a very low ac-
curacy on each EPD because he is unproven. By using DNA to create a genomic-enhanced EPD (adding DNA to the animal’s perfor-
mance and its ancestors’), the accuracy on a young animal with no ultrasound record will go from an accuracy of .05 (the default) to .41
depending on the trait.
Many of the Lyons Ranch bulls in the sale have accuracies over .40 on some EPDs because of three things:
1. DNA-testing through Igenity
2. Accurate reporting of an individual’s performance
3. High accuracies in their ancestry
Angus Genetics Inc. and the American Angus Association report this:
The increased accuracy of adding a genetic profile to a weanling bull is equivalent to adding about 16 progeny to its EPDs.
The extra information available on the bulls in our Superior Genetics Sale can help reduce risk and allow all of us to make faster ge-
netic progress. For more information, go to Angus.org/AGI/ or Igenity.com/beef.
