Sire Sitz Upward 307R
Dam RB Lady 890-1131
- Maternal granddaughter of the $170,000 RB Lady 305-890.
- She is the highest birth to weaning spread Upwards daughter in the entire Angus breed.
- Her dam, is full sister to major ABS bull stud, RB American Made 197, and RB Riley 2181.
- In the words of breeder Glen Davis from Riley Bros, Lady Upwards is one of the best growth females ever produced by Riley Bros.
- Her DNA profile puts her in the Top 3% for weaning and yearling growth, Top 1% for milk, and Top 5% for carcass weight.
- Her sire, Sitz Upwards 307R, sold ½ interest for $85,000 in 2006, one of the breed’s most popular AI sires, he sires growth.
- Her sire, Sitz Upwards 307R, has sired many bull test champions throughout the country, and many prestigious females revered around the world.
Of over 300,000 active registered Angus dams in the breed, she ranks in the following EPD’s.
Top 10% Beef Value ($B), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for post-weaning and carcass value compared to progeny of other sires.
Top 1% 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.
Top 1% 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.
Top 25% Residual Average Daily Gain (RADG), expressed in pounds per day, is a predictor of a sire’s genetic ability for post-weaning gain in future progeny compared to that of other sires, given a constant amount of feed consumed.
Top 20% Scrotal Circumference EPD (SC), expressed in centimeters, is a predictor of the difference in transmitting ability for scrotal size compared to that of other sires.
Top 1% 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.
Top 2% Carcass Weight EPD (CW), expressed in pounds is a predictor of the differences in hot carcass weight of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.
Top 35% Ribeye Area EPD (RE), expressed in square inches, is a predictor of the difference in ribeye area of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.
Top 1% Weaned Calf Value ($W), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for pre-weaning merit. $W includes both revenue and cost adjustments associated with differences in birth weight, weaning direct growth, maternal milk and mature cow size.
Top 2% Feedlot Value ($F), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for post-weaning merit compared to progeny of other sires.
Top 4% Beef Value ($B), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for post-weaning and carcass value compared to progeny of other sires.
