Sire Summary
Progeny ProvenTo be eligible for publication in the CCA Sire Summary, a Bull must :
1) have had at least 10 calves with CHARM weaning records in the last 3 years
2) meet an accuracy standard of .60 in the weaning weight EPD evaluation
Weaning weight is used as the selection criteria as it is least subject to bias and is the trait that is best represented across herds and sires. EPD and accuracy values are published for all traits for the sires selected. All sires tested in this section have enough performance-tested progeny to be considered as predictable.
Young SiresTo be eligible for publication in the CCA Sire Summary a young bull must:
1) be born in the last 4 years and
2) have an accuracy of .40 or greater for weaning weight EPD
3) have had at least 2 calves with CHARM weaning records
Young sires with higher accuracies (.60 or greater) may also appear in the progeny proven section. This section is intended to provide information on young sires with potential for use in breeding programs. The EPDs expressed should be carefully considered as some accuracies may be fairly low.
