Limousin Foundation Offers
Gestation Length EPDs
ENGLEWOOD. Colo.—
Cattlemen will find a new tool to
use for Limousin selection when
they open the breed’s Fall ’95
Genetic Evaluation Manual. The
North American Limousin Found
ation (NALF) has established
expected progeny differences
(EPDs) for gestation length.
Measured in days, gestation
length EPDs allow cattlemen to
select for shorter gestation length
and the benefits that go along with

rebreeding performance due to
longer post-partum intervals,
some decrease in birth weight
which equates to more calving
ease, especially in first-calf heif

weights from older calves.

“With these comprehensive
descriptions of genetic differ
ences, breeders have important
tools to produce problem-free
cattle,” said Dr. Kent Andersen,
NALF director of research and
education.
In addition to the manual, cat
tlemen can also request IBM com
patible Sire Selector software
which gives them the sire and
young sire listing on disk with the
ability to sort for specific EPD
ranges and accuracies by trait, as
well as color and polled status.

Growers Prosecuted
ject to a review referendum every
five years, it is a democratic insti
tution that represents the wishes of
the majority of growers who parti
cipated in the referendums.
The Vegetable Marketing and
Research Program has spent more
than $125,000 over the past seven
years on dozens of research pro
jects, including major integrated
pest management (IPM) research
projects on sweet com and toma
toes. Both of these projects are
intended to provide growers with
information that enables them to
apply pesticides when the disease
or insect pressure is greatest
instead of on a Regular schedule.
Some years this decreases the
number of sprays applied, thereby
decreasing the grower’s cost while
other years it will increase the
number of sprays applied thereby
and low-rate
MF financing.

increasing the grower’s crop qual
ity. Either way, the grower line
fits. This year the program has
gone a step further by mailing this
IPM information to growers
across the state on a weekly basis.
The program has also worked
hard at promoting Pennsylvania
vegetables. It has created colorful
point-of-purchase materials for
growers who retail their produce.
Each year the program has pro
vided newspapers across the state
with news releases on Pennsylva
nia vegetables throughout the
harvest season. This year the pro
gram teamed up with the Ameri
can Cancer Society, the Pittsburgh
Steelers and the Philadelphia
Eagles to urge consumers to eat at
least five servings of vegetables
and fruits each day during Nation
al 5-A-Day Week in September.
