Relative Heritability of Traits Phenotype = Genotype + Environment  Environmental Effects General Traits Avg Heritability  1) Random  2) Known  Adjusted Performance Records Reproduction LOW (<20%) • 205-day Adjusted Weaning Weight - 1) ADG = (current weight – birth weight) / Days of Age. - 2) (ADG * 205 days) + birth weight Growth Performance Moderate (20-40%) - 3) Adjust for sex of calf & age of dam Mature Size 2 3 4 5-10 11+ HIGH (>40%) Carcass Traits Male +60 +40 +20 --- +20 Female +54 +36 +18 --- +18 University of Nebraska–Lincoln University of Nebraska–Lincoln Know how.

Use of Data & Genetic Evaluations Use of Data & Genetic Evaluations  Actual Data  EPDs  Phenotype = Genotype + Environment  B est tool for genetic improvement  For growth traits, heritability = 30%  Comparative Value  Minimal value for estimation of genetic merit  Expressed as + or – Values  Trait Ratios • Theoretical average = 0  Expressed in units of measure  = (Ind Perf / Avg Group Perf) * 100 • For the trait  Provides relative ranking among contemporaries University of Nebraska–Lincoln University of Nebraska–Lincoln Know how.

Use of Data & Genetic Evaluations Use of Data & Genetic Evaluations  Comparing EPDs  EPDs are NOT additive  Sire A = +90 Yearling Wt EPD  If the current average carcass weight = 800 lbs • Year 1: Sire CW EPD = +20  Sire B = +65 Yearling Wt EPD 75 pounds! • Year 2: Sire CW EPD = +30  Difference = 35 lbs • Year 3: Sire CW EPD = +10 875 lb CW! • Year 4: Sire CW EPD = +15  Calves of Sire A should weigh 35 lbs heavier (on  After 4 years, how much more carcass weight? average) at one year of age than those of Sire • Compare the differences = 15 lbs added CW B, when bred to the same cows and raised under the same environmental conditions.
