$ Indexes:
Though EPDs allow for the comparison of genetic levels for many
economically important traits, they only provide a piece of the economic puzzle.
That’s where $ indexes come in. Through wellconceived, rigorous mathematical
computation, $ indexes blend EPDs and economics to estimate an animal’s overall
impact on your bottom line. The same technology that led to the dramatic progress
in swine, poultry and dairy genetics over the last several decades was used to
develop the following $ indexes:
All-Purpose Index (API):
Evaluates sires for use on the entire cow herd (bred to
both Angus first-calf heifers and mature cows) with the portion of their daughters
required to maintain herd size retained and the remaining heifers and steers put on
feed and sold grade and yield.
Terminal Index (TI):
Evaluates sire for use on mature Angus cows with all
offspring put on feed and sold grade and yield.
Using API and TI:
First, determine which index to use; if you’re keeping
replacements use API, if not, TI. Then, just as with EPDs, zero in on the unit
difference between bulls. (As described above, index units are in dollars per cow
exposed.) The difference can be used to determine how much a bull is worth
compared to another. Or, put another way, how much you can pay for one bull
compared to another. For example, when buying an all-purpose-type sire, you can
quickly figure a bull scoring +100 for API is worth an extra $6,000 over a +50 bull
if both are exposed to 30 cows over 4 years ($50 diff. x 30 hd. x 4 yr. = $6,000). A
percentile-ranking chart is required to determine where a bull’s index value ranks
him relative to other bulls in the breed. For percentile rankings or more detailed
information about EPDs and $ indexes visit
www.simmental.org
