The Program Driven by Data
This year we are introducing the Igenity® Beef Profile
as another tool to evaluate our herd. In our catalog you will have EPDs, DNA and
Igenity® scores to help you in your selection process. Included with the Igenity®
scores will be each animals BCHF Breeding rank.
Igenity® BCHF is a genomic test that estimates an animal’s genetic risk for heart failure. Results are provided on a scale of 1–10 and correspond to percentage of BCHF risk. By DNA testing cattle for BCHF, producers can confidently identify animals with the genetics to improve bovine heart health. To select animals that will produce progeny with the best heart health, a lower score is more favorable and a score of 1 is most desirable.
Featuring five bulls that are 10 for Marbling and a 10 for Tenderness, which is in the top .3 Percentile Rank.
There is an explanation of the Igenity scores and Spreadsheets of all the sale bulls Below.

Definitions of Igenity DNA Table and
Indexes
A score of 5.95 to 10.0 is considered to be in the Elite Tier. Best of the best.
These cattle rank
genetically superior to 75% of Igenity tested cattle
Igenity Maternal Index (IMI): Igenity Maternal Index is
designed to select replacement heifers for fertility, longevity and higher
weaned calf weight. It is a tool developed for producers who sell calves at
weaning or after a short backgrounding period.
Igenity Production Index (IPI): The Igenity Production Index is
well balanced for maternal, production and carcass progeny traits. It is
designed for producers who raise their own heifers and want broad improvement
across multiple traits.
Igenity Terminal Index (ITI): The Igenity Terminal Index is
specialized to identify animals with superior carcass performance. It places the
highest emphasis on hot carcass weight, followed by marbling and rib eye area.
There is, however, a negative emphasis placed on residual feed intake and fat
thickness to control feed costs.
MATERNAL TRAITS
Birth Weight (BW): Lower Value is Desired. This is the
variation in birthweight a heifer or bull will pass along to its offspring.
Calving Ease Direct (CED): Higher Value is Desired. Percentage
of unassisted births, indicating greater probability that a calf will be born
unassisted out of a first calf heifer.
Calving Ease Maternal (CEM): Higher Value is Desired. Includes
all genetic factors that impact a first-calf heifer’s ability to calve
unassisted.
Docility (DOC): Higher Value is Desired. The animal’s genetic
potential to be calm or have calm offspring.
Heifer Pregnancy Rate (HPR): Higher Value is Desired. A
heifer’s chance of conceiving over a normal breeding season.
Stability (STAY): Higher Value is Desired. The chance a heifer
will remain in the herd as a productive cow until at least six years of age.
PERFORMANCE TRAITS
Average Daily Gain (ADG): Higher Value is Desired. Based on the
pounds of gain per day. The Igenity score identifies an animal;s genetic
potential for post-weaning growth.
Residual Feed Intake (RFI): Lower Value is Desired: This
measure is an indicator of feed efficiency. It is the difference in animal’s
daily consumption of fed to achieve the same level of daily gain.
Weaning Weight (WWT): The Higher the Number, the greater the
weaning weight of calves.
Yearling Weight (YWT): The Higher the Number, the greater the
yearling weight.
Scrotal Circumference (SC): A Higher Score Equates to Higher
Scrotal Size. The difference in scrotal size is an indication of fertility in
replacement females.
CARCASS TRAITS
Hot Carcass Weight (HCW): Hot carcass weight is the hot or
unchilled weight of the carcass after slaughter and the removal of the head,
hide, intestinal tract and internal organ.
Fat Thickness (FAT): Higher thickness scores equate to a lower
lean yield. Fat thickness is scored as depth of fat in inches over the rib eye
muscle at the 12th rib.
Tenderness (TEND): Higher Score is Desired. An animal’s genetic
potential for carcass tenderness (measured by Warner-Bratzler shear force test).
USDA Marbling (MARB): Higher Score is Desired. Marbling score
indicates the degree of marbling in the rib eye at the 12th rib expressed in
USDA marbling units.
Bovine Congestive Heart Failure
BCHF Breeding Rank (BCHF): Lower Score is Desired. Indicates
greater probability that an animal will pass down genes with lesser chance for
Bovine Congestive Heart Failure in the feedlot.

It all began with the purchase of two Angus heifers in
1932 from Henry Shroeder in Lorraine and has evolved into a 350 mother cow herd.
Beginning with calving ease, carcass composition, feed efficiency and
cost of production, we have been using the technology available in the industry
to select for the best complete
cow herd.
Our goal is to provide you with problem free seedstock that will give you the
most profit. Not every bull fits
every program, so we strive to give you the most information possible for you to
make your selection.
