Hook Farms strives to provide
the most current and accurate
data to assist in your bull
buying decision. While actual
data and ratios are important,
the EPDs provide the most
accurate prediction of the
animal's genetic merit for a
given
trait. Instead of focusing on
the particular value for a
trait, we strongly recommend
comparing the animals percentile
rank relative to the rest of the
Simmental population. We believe
this will assist you in
selecting bulls to move your
herd in the genetic direction
you are striving to achieve. The
API and TI Indexes give you a
good barometer of how the
bulls will perform on a dollar
basis relative to keeping
replacement and/or producing
terminal offspring.
