Understanding EBV's At Trafalgar Angus, we encourage clients to use Angus Australia selection indexes to compare bulls. Indexes combine key traits like growth, fertility, carcase and efficiency into a single figure, expressed as a dollar value, showing expected profitability per cow joined. Each index suits a specific production system, so a bull may rank differently depending on the goal. Use indexes alongside structural soundness, temperament and environment to make balanced, confident breeding decisions, and we’re always happy to help interpret the numbers. $A & $A-L The Angus Breeding Index ($A) and Angus Breeding Low Feed Cost Index ($A-L) estimate genetic differences in net profitability per cow joined in a typical commercial, self-replacing herd. Both focus on improving whole-of-herd profitability with daughters retained for breeding, making female traits important. The $A index suits systems where pasture is fully utilised and aims to maintain mature cow weight, while the $A-L index is designed for lower-cost or surplus feed systems and allows for increased mature cow weight. #angusbullsale,#bullsforsale
