Registry & Genetics

Accurate records. Confident genetic decisions.

Total Herd Enrollment, DNA verification and EPDs work together to give Canadian Simmental breeders defensible performance data.

Program

Whole-herd reporting keeps contemporary groups complete and improves EPD accuracy. Enrolled herds report every cow every year.

Program

Expected Progeny Differences compare an animal's genetic merit. Accuracy grows as more data on the animal and relatives is reported.

Program

Parentage verification is standard for AI and ET progeny. Genomic profiling adds density to EPD predictions on young animals.
