| CSA's National
Cattle Evaluation System was developed by the Animal Breeding
Group at Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, and provides one of the
most complete and accurate genetic evaluation of cattle in the
industry. The system has two basic components - a model
which describes factors influencing an animal's record, and a
system of equations built on the model which provides estimates of
genetic merit using a procedure known as Best Linear Unbiased
Prediction (BLUP). The Spring 2008 Epd's are now available
under the Individual "Animal Search". ** Please note - we do
not print a Fall Sire Summary. For your
convenience, we have developed a Spring 2007 Genetic Evaluation
Quick Reference Guide. You
are also welcome to use our
animal search function to obtain the most
up-to-date EPD's on the animal of your choosing.
