Directions
This assignment will help with learning EPD interpretation and use. There are 7 questions to complete. Fill in your responses in the text boxes provided and then upload back to Canvas. Be sure to ask with questions, and also there are a number of good references in our Canvas folder for you to use too. Questions
Here are a pair of bulls (see the last page of this handout) that were just sold in January at the National Angus Sale. Genetically, these are good bulls. The differences are not that big for most any trait, but this does show you the abundance of genetic evaluation information that can be made available for cattle breeders as they make their selections. The genetic evaluations reported for these bulls are their “EPDs”. 1. For what does EPD stand?
Expected Progeny Difference
2. There are two reasons why I would want to use Emerald if I were going to mate him to first calf females and I wanted to make sure I minimize dystocia. What are those reasons? With his -3.6 BW EPD he is definitely the more favorable bull for breeding to heifers to ensure an easy calf. With that he has an awesome CED of +18.6 as he is the top 1% of the breed in each scenario. 3. Which one is going to sire females that, when those daughters enter the cow herd, will cost less to
feed per year. Which bull and why do can we say this? How much saved per head? Hometown is just $1.00 better in this category thus he is the better option. 4. Which bull should sire the most profitable offspring if the calves are retained through the feedlot phase of production? Why is it this bull? How much more net return per head of offspring is predicted on average between these two sires? Hometown would be the more profitable through his offspring in the feedlot due to his higher $G EPD at +99 whereas his counterpart is only +68. He does consistently have the better grow numbers and based on paper he will produce offspring with more value on the rail. The difference of the expected value return is a gap of 31 and together they add to 167.
5. Which bull should sire daughters that will average heavier offspring at weaning because of their lactation ability? Why? Which bull will sire heavier calves at weaning if bred to the same kind of cows? Why? Hometown will sire both the largest calves and the better milking daughters in this case. With his milk sitting at +29 he shows to the growth driven bull. With that he will sire heavier calves at weaning as well if bred to similar cows. His WW is at +90 while the other bull is only at +63.
6. BEPD in this sale catalog stands for birth weight EPD. Interpret the difference between the two bulls, paying close attention to the terminology that we indicated in class (aka – state it the way we said to state it to get it right). The lot 42 bull, “Emerld” is the more calving ease driven sire in the pair.
There are a lot of EPDs reported for these two bulls. We will eventually define them as we go through the semester. But while we are at this point, remember that some of these EPDs have a ‘$’ in front of them (for example, $W, $C, $ B and so on. . . ). These, and others like them are called ‘index EPDs’. They can vary from breed to breed. Take a look at some examples noted here. 7.
What is the purpose (use, intent) of an
index EPD versus a single trait EPD? Index EPD is able to show lots of calves
differences rather than just one single trait. This can also show the consistency of a sire in order to truly understand his breeding potential.
Index EPDs are calculated by using information from research
where each piece of information is weighted by its significance
Note that the two bulls referenced in this assignment are on the next page. What are
$value indices?

QUESTION 1
DTrbin Holdings Ltd wants to have a system that can help them manage their employees
training requests. Below is the scenario that shows the activities to be automated.
The employee can consult the catalogue and select a theme or course or even a particular
session. The application is automatically registered by the system and forwarded by email to the
training manager. If the employee has not chosen a session but simply a course or a theme, the
training manager will consult the catalogue and select the sessions that appear to correspond
most to the application. This selection will be forwarded by email to the employee, who will then
be able to submit a new, more specific application.
Once an employee has applied for training, and this is accepted, the training manager will use
the system to email an enrolment order form to the training body involved. The employee may
consult the current status of his training requests and cancel them personally. The training
manager is…
