EAR TAG: Any of several types of tags that are clipped or anchored into the ears of cattle.
Fencing which gives livestock or people an electric shock when they touch it. This is an effective method to control livestock in camps. Expected progeny difference: EPD is a measure used in animal breeding to estimate the genetic merit of an individual as a parent. EPD predicts how an animal's offspring are expected to perform in certain traits compared with the average performance of the population. EPDs are calculated using statistical models that analyse pedigree information, performance records, and genetic markers. By comparing an animal's genetics to the performance of its relatives and the population as a whole, an EPD provides an estimate of the genetic value of that animal for specific traits. It can also be calculated for various traits such as growth rate, carcass quality, reproductive performance, milk
