A longer bar is better for every trait, including birth weight and yield grade; the tick marks the breed average. Percentiles compare against active sires in the breed. Accuracy runs 0–1: the higher it is, the less the EPD is likely to change.

Data from the American Black Hereford Association's DigitalBeef registry as of Nov 13, 2026. EPDs are updated as new calves and records come in; see the current record ↗
