Bryan 4B Angus Ranches of Decatur owns one bull listed in the Spring 2008 Sire Evaluation Report published by the American Angus Association.

Issued in both the spring and fall, the new report features the latest performance information available on 5,299 sires and is currently accessible at www.angussiresearch.com.

"This report provides both Angus breeders and commercial cattle producers using Angus genetics with accurate, predictable selection tools for improving their herd," said Bill Bowman, American Angus Association director of performance programs.

Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs) are generated from the performance database of the American Angus Association, which includes information submitted by nearly 9,800 Angus breeders this past year through the Association's Beef Improvement Records (BIR) program.

The semi-annual analysis for the Sire Evaluation Report contains more than 15 million measures used to generate over 42 million EPDs for the Angus Breed.
