PHENOTYPE GENOTYPE SHOW (PGS) RULES
ALL FEMALES ENTERED IN PGS SHOW MUST FOLLOW THESE RULES
The objective behind the Phenotype and Genotype Show (PGS) is to create another avenue for juniors to show their heifers in an
additional competition while providing an educational opportunity to learn about the value of Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs) and
economic selection indexes ($Values) as a part of the process in selecting seedstock. Animals entered in the PGS will be evaluated by
a judge under a system that requires both genotypes and phenotypes to be considered. The results will be a composite score where
the genotype (EPDs & $Values) placing, and phenotype placings will be equally weighted at fifty percent.
Overview:
Exhibitors can enter in the PGS online while entering
However, to enter the PGS all animals must be genomic tested (either Angus GS™ or HD50K for Angus) with a DNA sample on file with Angus Genetics Incorporated
(AGI), by ownership deadline.
1. All animals must have been genomic tested, with a DNA sample on file with AGI, by ownership deadline. The animal must be
tested with Angus GS or HD50K Basic parentage testing does not qualify for this show.
2. GE-EPDs are required at the time of check-in.
3. Any animal with interim EPDs or EPDs not enhanced with genomic results at time of entry not be allowed to show.
Show Categories:
1. Only females are allowed to enter with no specification on bred-and-owned versus owned. Champions will be selected in each
division. Grand and Reserve Champion PGS Females will be awarded.
2. Entries will be listed in the catalog in order of age (youngest to oldest) and will be led into the showring in order of catalog number.

- The show will be run similar to other shows where the judge will evaluate the class in the same manner as a regular phenotype show.
- The judge will receive a judge’s card with birthdates only for phenotype classes. The phenotype placings will be recorded and compiled with the genotype placings. The composite score will be made up of 50% genotype placing and 50% phenotype placings. In the event of a tie, the tie will be broke based on the phenotype
- placings.
- The judge will then receive a judge’s card with the composite placing and respective EPDs to talk the class. During divisions and the grand drive, the judge will receive judge’s cards.
