Carcase plus index averages by year

These charts and tables report Siremax flock averages. Please bear in mind that rams offered for sale exceed these averages.

SIREMAX reports LAMBPLAN analyses as Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs) for each trait. EPDs are the values most recognized by North American livestock producers. EPDs are also expressed in pounds for Weaning Weight and Post Weaning Weight, and in inches for Post Weaning fat (Pfat) and Post Weaning Eye Muscle Depth (Pemd).
