Bull Buyer Guide
Explanation of How to Utilize API and TI Indexes
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 to the left, 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
