COMPARE THESE 29 E080 PROGENY AVERAGES TO YOUR FAVORITE ISABEL SIRE OR DAM INDIVIDUALLY!!!
The balanced EPDs she averages on her progeny has to be rare. From BW to WW YW and still have a DMI efficiency EPD of 1.60 for a average with a moderate YH, MH EPD and still have a mature weight of 85 is nuts!!
Breed leading feet scores top 10% Angle and top 15% Claw with a top 1% docility.
It doesn’t stop there she also is averaging 1.17 marbling & .77 RE not to mention crazy $ values including a phenomenal 79 average on $M and a 303$C average on all 29 head!!!
Her first 29 calves are averaging whopping 18 Epds in the top 25% in the breed!!! It’s usually hard enough to get one animal to have that many Epds in the top 25% let alone for a average on 29 calves!! Probably the most freaky of all the numbers is her moderate YH, MH epd but still being able to have top 1% growth Epds. That probably helps explain the exceptionally low Dry Matter Intake number of 1.60 as the average on 29 calves.
E080 has a individual DMI of 1.19 which is unheard of with her combination of growth and marbling. I’m not sure you will find anything very close to that spread from growth to efficiency and still have that kind of marbling. Her Claw score is in top 15% and angle in the top 10% as a average over all 29 head as well.
E080 is the dam of the following breed leaders;
GAF Reno 080-022 # 19426221 number 2 Reno son for his combination of BW 0, WW 90, YW 147 and a full brother to Mr Angus.
GAF Isabel 080-1457 # 19960906 number 1 Powerball heifer for her combination of BW .3, WW 104 YW 178
GAF Playball 080-0401 # 19971536 number 1 Powerball son in the breed for his combination of BW 0, WW 100, YW 171
GAF Isabel 090-006 #19961002 number 1 Powerplay heifer in the breed for the combination of BW .1, WW 93, YW 158
GAF Powerplay 080-0172 # 19961005 number 1 Powerplay son in the breed for the combination of WW 99, YW 177, $C 347
What I can tell you from our experience is we don’t have any other bloodline that has the efficiency like the Isabels and especially E080. She is a tank of a cow weighing 2,045 pounds as a 3 year old in a 5 3/4 frame score package!!
We have found no need to creep feed the E080 calves because they get too fleshy in our opinion. With that being said they will still out gain most of our other calves that are on creep.
We have several donors out of another line of cattle with high growth Epds and big YH, MH numbers but you have to feed the heck out of them to get any results and to top it off we have a lot more feet and functionality problems with that line as well. I’m not saying that the bigger framed cattle are all bad but we sure seem to get just as much weight if not more in a much more efficient package.
