Expected Progeny Differences (EPD) predict the difference in performance of future offspring of a parent, as compared to progeny from other parents, when each are bred to mates of equal value. They are used to compare the genetic merit of animals in various traits for selective breeding.

• To conduct an EPD Search, visit the Searches section.
   
• The International Limousin Genetic Evaluation (Sire Summary), produced twice yearly (spring and fall), carries a detailed explanation of EPDs. If you are interested in this useful tool of genetics please visit the Sire Summary page.
