GLossarY of terms
Expected Progeny Difference (EPD):
Is the prediction of how future progeny of each animal are expected to perform relative to the progeny of other animals listed in the
database. EPDs are expressed in units of measure for the trait, plus or minus. Interim EPDs may appear on young animals when their
performance has yet to be incorporated into the American Angus Association National Cattle Evaluation (NCE) procedures. This EPD
will be preceded by an “I”, and may or may not include the animal’s own performance record for a particular trait, depending on its
availability, appropriate contemporary grouping, or data edits needed for NCE.
Birth Weight EPD (BW):
Expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit birth weight to his progeny compared to that of other sires.
Weaning Weight EPD (WW):
Expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit weaning growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires.
Yearling Weight EPD (YW):
Expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit yearling growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires.
Maternal Milk EPD (Milk):
Is a predictor of a sire’s genetic merit for milk and mothering ability as expressed in his daughters compared to daughters of other sires.
In other words, it is that part of a calf’s weaning weight attributed to milk and mothering ability.
Total Maternal EPD (TM):
The expected overall difference in weaning weight pounds of calves out of a bull’s daughters compared to calves from daughters of a bull
with a zero EPD for total maternal. The total materanl EPD is a measure of both growth and milking ability and is an indication of the
size of calf a bull’s daughter will wean. The maternal milk EPD is combined with half of the weaning growth EPD to produce the total
maternal EPD. This is a prediction of the total genetic influence that a sire will have on his daughter’s progeny.
How Do I Use EPD’s?
Imagine you are interested in purchasing a couple of bulls for your herd. You are looking at the EPDs in a sale catalogue. Bull A has a
weaning weight (WW) EPD of +10 and Bull B has a WW of +60. What does that mean? How can you use those EPDs to choose between
the two bulls? If these animals were randomly mated with 10 similar cows, we would expect the group average weaning weight of Bull
A’s offspring to be 50 lbs lighter than that of Bull B’s (60-10=50). So, if you were interested in producing heavier calves, Bull B would be
the one to choose. Remember, EPDs evaluate group average and offspring’s performance. They cannot predict individual performance or
weights.

Welcome to the 2013 Northern Alliance Bull Sale. I
have 7 yearling bulls on offer this year. Every bull
in this group is structurally correct, and they come
backed by proven maternal genetics. Four of the bulls,
22Z, 24Z, 26Z, and 28Z, are sired by the bull Wise
Guy 10W; a bull I raised. I was very impressed with
the quality and uniformity of the calves he sired. My
top weaning bull calf is a 10W bull, and many of
Wise Guy’s heifers have made it into my replacement
pen because they are proving to be very correct
and easy fleshing. Three of bulls, 2Z, 6Z and 11Z,
are sired be leading AI sires. I selected these sires
for their excellent calving ease, explosive growth
characteristics and good carcass qualities. The bulls
and their dams have been fully vaccinated with the
Express Vaccine Program, guaranteeing them to be
BVD PI free. The bulls are being fed at the Lazy B
Bull test and can be viewed there prior to the sale.
I hope calving is going well for all who are calving
and wish good calving to those who have yet to start. If you have any
questions regarding the bulls please call, I would be happy to help. I look forward to discussing the
bulls with you on sale day.

Zoom 2Z is a really stout bull with a strong herd bull look to him. He is thick topped with excellent muscle expression and a good disposition. 2Z
has been a stand out in my 2012 bull pen, and he continues to grow more impressive each time I see him. His dam, 126W, is a model Angus cow with
excellent feet and a nice tidy udder. Connealy Thunder is a noted calving ease and growth sire whose calves are sound and easy fleshing. Zoom is a
great choice if you are looking for a bull to service heifers or cows and not sacrifice growth and production.

Zeppelin 6Z is a real performance bull. He displayed excellent growth from birth to weaning, and he has continued to be a top gainer at the Lazy
B Test station in Fort Fraser. He is long, smooth and thick topped. 11T is a moderate, easy fleshing cow with good feet. Bennett Total combines
physical superiority, performance and carcass excellence. He stamps calves with a square hip, rib depth and stunning profile; NXS 6Z is no exception.
6Z will work well on cows, and should sire calves that weight up well in the fall.

Zelos 11Z is a bull I really like, and I showed him with success last year. He is a smooth made bull with good thickness, depth, muscle expression and
an easy going nature. He has nicely balanced EPD’s with strong maternal numbers and well as good growth numbers. 54T is a cow from the Stewart
Cattle Co of Manitoba. She is very maternal with an excellent udder. 11Z is sired by Final Answer, one of the most popular AI sires on the market,
who is known for calving ease, excellent growth, and strongly maternal daughters. 11Z would work well on cows.

This very good bull had the heaviest 205 day weaning weight of all my 2012 bulls, and he has continued to grow very well on test. Zip Drive 22Z is
long, thick topped and strides out well. His sire Wise Guy 10W is a home raised bull that has done a great job for me. His calves were born without
assistance and were very vigorous. Duchess 4159 is a really great cow who consistently brings home a top calf each fall. NXS 22Z will work well on
cows, and his calves should pound the scale down in the fall.

Zander 26Z is another good Wise Guy 10W calf. He is smooth and wide over the top, with good length and depth of rib. 26Z has really excelled
on test, and is one of my top gaining bulls at Lazy B. 7R is a broody cow with solid feet and an excellent production record. 7R’s calves tend to have
heavier birth weights, so 26Z will work well on cows.

excellent disposition. Wise Guy 10W is a bull I raised and used with great success. He is sired by BC Lookout a bull known for his moderate frame,
calving ease and rapid growth. 28Z would work well on heifers.

This is the second calf crop from our Kodiak son and we are
still impressed with their performance, light birth weights
and good weaning weights. His first daughters are due to
calve soon and they are impressive putting down great
udders. They appear to be going to be great cows.
The weaning weights are a little behind last years as we
were very dry last summer. We do not have a big herd but
after 48 years of our selections we are very proud of our
cattle and feel they should be predictable. We have not
strayed from our philosophy of low maintenance cattle.
They spend summers in bush pastures and winter on hay.
We have had our bulls at Lazy B feedlot as we have for the
past eighteen years.
We thank all our past buyers and hope to visit with you
at the sale. If you want any more info call us.
