| Weigh Date |
This is the day the calves were weighed. Calves must be at least 320 days old and younger than 410 days old in order for the weight to qualify as a yearling weight. |
| Weight (Mandatory for genetic evaluations) |
This is how much the calves weighed, using a scale, and measured in pounds. |
| Management Group |
If calves that were in the same management group at weaning have been treated differently since that time, they should be assigned different management groups at 365 days. EPDs are generated from the comparisons of animals within a management group. Grouping animals together that were not treated similarly will generate EPDs that will be “low” quality. You can use numbers 1 – 99 for your management groups. Heifers and bulls can be in the same, as heifers are compared to heifers, bulls to bulls and steers to steers.
Management groups are the single most important factor affecting the validity of expected progeny differences. |

| Scrotal |
Scrotal circumference is measured in centimeters. This measurement indicates fertility by the bull’s ability to produce sperm and is related to younger age at puberty. See Appendix 3 – Male Traits for information on scrotal circumference. |
| Scrotal Date |
This is the
day the bulls were measured. |
| Hip Height |
Hip Height is measured in inches. It should be taken at a point directly over the hipbones (hooks) with the animal standing on a level surface.
See Appendix 2 – for more information on frame scores. |
| Hip Height Date |
This is the day the calves were measured. |
