The release of the American Simmental Association Fall 2010 Genetic Evaluation makes history as it marks the first EPD’s calculated from the pooled dataset of the American Simmental Association and the Red Angus Association of America. Since the Red Angus dataset includes the Canadian Angus data, both black and red, the total dataset pool now exceeds nine million animals, with over one million animals in common between the two datasets.
The current Red Angus Association of America President, Kelli Brown of R.A. Brown Ranch in Throckmorton, Texas, stated that she envisions the two-breed collaboration will have a powerful impact on the industry, “Of course, the ultimate winners will be the ranchers, cattle feeders, and branded-beef customers of these more reliable, more meaningfully described Red Angus and Simmental genetics.”

| ROOKIE and SURE BET continue to set the overall EPD standards for all others to follow. The undisputed most important individual economic measured traits in the beef industry today are birth weight, performance, and marbling ability. When evaluating the combined EPD’s for Birth Weight, Yearling Weight, and Marbling, these two industry leading sires stand all alone at the top. |
