Producers can achieve production goals faster with an investment in Red Angus' new genetic merit test — RA50K, according to the Red Angus Association of America, which has released the product. The new genomic data test, named for “Red Angus” and “50K” for the 50,000 tested locations on an animal’s genome, provides producers with higher accuracy EPDs to be used in making their seedstock selections. It identifies which genes a specific animal possesses and their impact on various traits, such as birth weight and carcass traits.
