Animals with a GE-EPD are identified on the website with the double helix DNA logo beside the EPD. Additionally, percentile ranks are posted to provide standings for individual traits of animals. These ranks are available on IBBA\u2019s website, at <a href=\"https:\/\/gobrangus.com\/breed-averages-and-percentile-ranks\/\">https:\/\/gobrangus.com\/breed-averages-and-percentile-ranks\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Members can find confidence in their efforts knowing these evaluations improve the predictions of offspring performance when making selection and mating decisions for the future. Increases in the number of genotyped animals continues to improve the predictive power of the genetic evaluation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gobrangus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IBBA-Releases-October-2017-Genetic-Evaluation.pdf\">Click here to download a PDF version of this news.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The International Brangus Breeders Association (IBBA) has announced the release of October\u00a02017 Genomic-Enhanced Expected Progeny Differences (GE-EPDs).
