1989-90 TUCUMCARI BULL TEST
SPECIAL ISSUE - PEDIGREE INFORMATION
This special issue of BULL SESSION contains pedigree and performance information of
bulls on test at Tucumcari.
This is the only place we will publish pedigree information. If available, Expected Progeny
Difference (EPD) or Estimated Breeding Value (EBV) figures are included. These
estimates are provided by bull owners and/or the appropriate breed associations.
Tables on the following pages include EPD values for sires of calves on test for those sires
for which we were able to obtain information.
These EBV and EPD values can help you to identify bulls on test whose ancestors have
demonstrated superior performance in the economic traits most important to you. See the
discussion inside for an explanation of EPD values and their usefulness.
Individual performance of bulls on test at Tucumcari is published following 28-day weigh
periods in regular issues of BULL SESSION.
The 1990 Performance Tested Bull Sale will be Friday, March 16, 1990. Please join us!
