December 2024 Genomic Evaluations Now Available

The latest December 2024 genomic evaluations are now available for all bulls in the Direct Global Genetics catalog. This round of evaluations includes updated reliability figures and revised breeding values across all major production and health traits.

Key highlights from this evaluation cycle:

• Simmental sires show strong gains in calving ease direct (CED) and weaning weight (WW)
• Several Wagyu bulls have been re-ranked based on updated IMF proofs from progeny data in Japan and Australia
• Two new sires have been added to the catalog following their first official evaluation

What does this mean for your breeding decisions?

Updated EPDs allow you to make more accurate comparisons between sires and better predict performance in your specific production environment. We strongly recommend reviewing your current bull selection against the updated figures before placing orders for the upcoming breeding season.

Our genetics advisors are available to help you interpret the new data and build a mating plan that meets your targets for growth, carcass merit, and maternal efficiency.
