Dear Friends,
Welcome to our 55th consecutive annual sale and our 82nd year as Angus Sale Schedule

of two registered cows from Henry Schroeder of Lorraine, Kansas, with

we have been concentrating on stacking pedigrees (breeding “like to like”) to

We feel very confident that the products we have to offer in our production

steers being graded that had met the visual specifications to qualify for CAB ®.
The tremendous variation in the quality grade of carcass on the rail (only 15% KSU Ag Research Hays KS

Reading Animal Information
Accuracy (ACC)
is the reliability that can be placed on an expected progeny difference (EPD). An accuracy of close to 1.0 indicates higher reliability. Accuracy is
affected by the number of progeny and ancestral records included in the analysis.
$Values
are multi-trait selection indexes, expressed in dollars per head, to assist beef producers by adding simplicity to genetic selection decisions. The
$Value is an estimate of how future progeny of each sire are expected to perform, on average, compared to progeny of other sires in the database if
the sires were randomly mated to cows and if calves were exposed to the same environment.
Expected Progeny Difference (EPD)
is the prediction of how future progeny of each animal are expected to perform relative to the progeny of other animals listed in the database. EPDs
are expressed in units of measure for the trait, plus or minus. Interim EPDs may appear for young animals when their performance is yet to be
incorporated into the American Angus Association National Cattle Evaluation (NCE) procedures. This EPD will be preceded by an “I,” and may or
may not include the animal’s own performance record for a particular trait, depending on its availability, appropriate contemporary grouping, or data
edits needed for NCE.
