This designation means the owners of the bull have informed us there have been no horned calves born out of this bull on a significant amount of females. That means he is homozygous polled by progeny proof. Several bulls are listed as HOMOZYGOUS POLLED DNA TEST (HomoPDNA). These bulls have been DNA-tested by MMI Labs and by the MMI test they believe to have over 95% probability of being homozygous polled. Tru-Polled Disclaimer: The MMIG Service is based upon scientific, biologic analysis and assessment of statistical probabilities. MMIG believes there is a range of probabilities and does not assure 100% accuracy. The MMIG Service may fail, from time to time, and either (A) not be able to make a determination or (B) make an incorrect determination. Grassroots Genetics DOES NOT GUARANTEE the status of any of these bulls, we are passing on the information given to us by the bull owners. Please use accordingly.

This information includes: individual performance, pedigree, progeny and grand progeny performance, and genomic information. All this information is combined into one, easy to use, number that helps producers make genetic improvement in their herd. Since the spring of 2015, NALF joined 11 other U.S. and Canadian breed associations to form the largest international multi-breed cattle evaluation in the world through International Genetic Solutions (IGS). This allows growth and carcass EPDs for Limousin and Lim-Flex® (Limousin x Angus hybrid) animals to be directly compared with Red Angus, Simmental, Gelbvieh, Shorthorn, Maine Anjou, and Chianina animals (and all their hybrid animals). This makes selection decisions easier for commercial producers. Listed below are the definitions for Limousin and Lim-Flex EPDs and the units in which they are published. For more information visit www.NALF.org or call 303-220-1693. Maternal and Growth Traits Stayability (ST): Predicts the genetic difference, in terms of percent probability, that a bull’s daughters will stay productive within a herd to at least six year of age. The stayability EPD is one of the best measures currently available to compare a bull’s ability to produce females with reproductive longevity. Calving ease direct (CED): Percent of unassisted births of a bull’s calves when he is used on heifers. A higher number is favorable, meaning better calving ease. Birth weight (BW): Predicts the difference, in pounds, for birth weight of the calf. Docility (Doc): Predicts genetic differences in the probability that offspring are scored a 1 (docile) or 2 (restless) as opposed to 3, 4, 5 or 6 (nervous to very aggressive). Higher EPD values for docility represent genetics for calmer behavior. Weaning weight (WW): Predicts the difference, in pounds, for weaning weight (adjusted to age of dam and a standard 205 days of age). This is an indicator of growth from birth to weaning. Carcass Traits Yearling weight (YW): Predicts the expected difference, in pounds, for yearling weight (adjusted to a standard 365 days of age). This is an indicator of growth from birth to yearling. Yield grade (YG): Differences in yield grade score, which is a predictor of percent retail product. Smaller values suggest that progeny will have a better lean to fat ratio. Milk (MK): The genetic ability of a sire’s daughters to produce milk expressed in pounds of weaning weight. Carcass weight (CW): Differences in pounds of hot carcass weight, adjusted to an industry standard age endpoint. Total maternal (TM): An index that combines growth and milk information as a prediction of the weaning weight performance of calves from a sire’s daughters. A greater TM value means a mother that returns comparatively higher weaning weights on her calves. TM Index = MK EPD + ½ WW EPD. Ribeye area (REA): Differences in ribeye area in inches between the 12th and 13th rib. Greater ribeye areas are preferable. Marbling (MB): Predicts the differences in the degree of marbling within the ribeye as expressed in marbling score units. Greater marbling numbers are preferable and are an indicator of higher carcass quality grades. Calving ease maternal (CEM): Represented as percent of unassisted births in a sire’s first-calving daughters. A higher number represents more favorable calving ease. Fat (FT): Differences for fat thickness, in inches, for a carcass over the 12th rib. Smaller numbers of fat thickness are preferable as excess fat can be detrimental to yield grade. Scrotal circumference (SC): Is a good indicator of age at puberty, and is a highly heritable trait. EPDs for scrotal circumference are expressed in centimeters, with higher values indicating genes for larger yearling scrotal circumferences of sons and earlier puberty of daughters. Mainstream Terminal Index ($MTI): Predicts genetic differences in profit per carcass by combining the potential for and value of post-weaning growth, quality grade and yield.

When using semen for embryo transplant… Semen should be evaluated prior to breeding the donor cow for quality that satisfies your embryo technician. SEMEN HANDLING A unit of semen is a live product, therefore it is important that care be taken in semen storage and handling. Frozen semen is a living and vital part of your herd and must be cared for accordingly. Semen is frozen and stored in liquid nitrogen, which reduces the metabolic activity making long-term storage possible, anything that we do to the semen to jeopardize this low temperature can damage the semen. The following are a few tips for proper semen storage. 1. Store your semen in a liquid nitrogen tank and never let the level of liquid nitrogen go below two inches. Monitor liquid nitrogen use weekly in your tank to detect early warning signs of a bad tank. Frost on the outside of the tank indicates you tank is damaged and may need to be replaced. 2. Store your tank in a protected area away from children and livestock. Your best insurance for genetic progress is a good, well cared for tank. 3. Know where you can find an emergency source of nitrogen and have an emergency plan for semen storage if your tank is defective. 4. Keep a good written inventory of your tank to reduce excessive handling. Every time a cane of semen is handled there is a potential for damage. Do not mix different bulls in the some cane or in the same goblet. 5. When transferring semen avoid doing it in direct sunlight and have the tanks side by side making the transfer in less than three seconds. Warming up the semen and allowing it to refreeze causes damage. 6. When removing a unit of semen, keep the cone 3-4 inches below the top of the neck tube. Higher in the neck tube temperatures are less than minus 100 degrees and damage will occur. After securing the straw, allow the canes to drop back into the canister. 7. When you thaw semen make sure you have an accurate thermometer and keep your water bath at 95 degrees F. Temperatures either higher or lower than this reduces the quality of the semen. 8. Thaw semen for a minimum of 30-40 seconds. Remember that if any delays occur, the semen is safer in the water bath than a gun where temperature shock can occur. Attempt to use the semen within 15 minutes of thawing. 9. After thawing the semen check for proper identification on the straw. Reading the straw after insemination only proves that you have used the wrong bull. 10. Load your insemination gun in a protected area. Rubbing the gun with a paper towel helps reduce cold shock when you load the straw in the gun. Keep the gun protected by wrapping it in a clean paper towel. 11. Follow the recommended insemination procedures. 12. Keep accurate records of inseminations, heat periods and calving dates. All of these are simple procedures, but if they are not followed correctly, you can lose the advantages that breeding artificially provides. Semen is good indefinitely as long as proper storage procedures are followed carefully.
