Hair Shed Scoring
Early hair shedding is an indicator trait for heat tolerance and tolerance to fescue toxicosis.
The American Angus Association accepts scores through the 1 to 5 scoring scale. Members can collect hair shed scores once animals reach the yearling age collection window, 320-440 days of age.
Animals can be scored annually and those scores submitted to the Association. Cattle should be scored when there is the most variation in the herd for shedding of the winter hair coat.
For scores to be included in the evaluation, cattle must be scored between April and June.
