[QUOTE="Idaman, post: 782229, member: 14119"] American Angus Association A Cow Energy Value ($EN ) is available with the Spring, 2005 EPD release to assess differences in cow-energy requirements, expressed in dollars per cow per year, as an expected dollar savings difference in future daughters’ of sires. A larger value is more favorable when comparing two animals. The bulls pictured in this catalog have an average of +24.99 ($EN), and the breeds’ average on bulls is +2.67 ($EN). In this example, the expected difference would be: +24.99 - + 2.67 = +22.32 A +22.32 savings per year per animal. After analyzing the new ($EN) number and ($W) number from the American Angus Association, we were curious how the DDA Fahren 21X’s numbers would stack-up compared to all the bulls in the breed. We entered 21X’s numbers and asked the database to find all the bulls that were as good as, or better than, the 21X bull. In the entire Angus breed, there were only two bulls that were better in these two, new categories. I n the past, the American Angus Association has had many numbers to measure production. Cattle with the most production also require the most inputs. It is very good to see the association develop a number that could help with profit, not just production. These are black cattle also from Valier, Montana. [/QUOTE]
