Hair Shedding (HS) Research EPDs
The Red Angus Association of America is pleased to announce the release of Hair Shedding (HS) Research EPDs, developed through research funded by the Red Angus Stakeholders Foundation and conducted by the University of Missouri.
The HS EPD predicts genetic differences in an animal's ability to shed its winter hair coat earlier, a trait associated with improved heat tolerance, adaptability, and productivity in challenging environments.
As a Research EPD, this evaluation gives Red Angus breeders early access to an emerging genetic selection tool while additional data are collected and the model continues to be refined. Members who have submitted Hair Shedding records can now view HS Research EPDs for their animals in REDSPro under My Reports.
Continued submission of Hair Shedding data will strengthen the evaluation, improve its accuracy, and support the future advancement of this important selection tool.
