  • 365 WT:

    FBW at MBT adjusted to 365 days of age

  • Group:

    Group 1: first set of bulls, typically received in September, on test together.  Group 2: second set of bulls, typically received in October, on test together

  • Class:

    Breeds with over 40 head on test will be indexed in two birth weight classes. Class one (green tag) = low birth bulls and Class 2 (white tag) = average/above average birth weight. The split will be determined by birth weight averages per breed and by EPDs as of Feb. 1 . See the Test Guidelines for breed details.

  • Eff Ratio:

    Measurement of how efficiently the caloric content of feed is converted to pounds. Optimizes balance between performance and efficiency. Calculated by Growsafe records, see Growsafe data tab for more information.

  • ADG Ratio:

    Averaged Daily Gain for the respective group/class. 100 is average result. Value used to cut bottom portion of below average bulls.

  • WDA Ratio:

    Averaged Weight per Day of Age for respective group/class. 100 is average.

  • 365 Ratio:

    Also known as Yearling Ratio. Averaged 365 WT for respective group/class. 100 is average. Value used to cut bottom portion of below average bulls.

  • MBT Ratio:

    Also known as MBT index. Calculated using 1/4 ADG Ratio +1/4 NR+ 1/4 365 Ratio+ 1/4 Eff. Ratio. Value determines Final Sort sale order. * NR is capped at 115 and Embryo Transfer (ET) calves use Dam avg NR.

  • ADG:

    GrowSafe Average Daily Gain- calculated during the RFI period only.  Not the same as the MBT Test ADG calculation.

  • DMI:

    Dry Matter Intake (Average Pounds Consumed/Day)

  • FCR:

    Feed Conversion Ratio- pounds of feed per pounds of gain (DMI/ADG)

  • RFI Act:

    Residual Feed Intake.  The Growsafe Residual Feed Intake is the pounds of feed required for 1 pound of gain above or below the average for their group.  Efficient animals eat less than expected and have a negative or low RFI, while inefficient animals eat more than expected and have a positive or high RFI.

  • Eff Ratio:

    Measurement of how efficiently the caloric content of feed is converted to pounds. Optimizes balance between performance and efficiency. The Growsafe Efficiency Ratio is calculated using 70% of the Growsafe ADG Ratio and 30% of the RFI Ratio.  The Efficiency Ratio creates a balance between the necessity of efficiency and gain; great feed efficiency is only beneficial if it accompanies acceptable gain.

  • Subgroup:

    Test group for Growsafe determined by DOB and weight for meaningful data collection and comparison

  • Omission:

    If the bull was omitted from testing for any reason, that reason will display. Any bull with no omission information was included in the testing.
