The table below contains adjustment factors to compare EPDs of individuals of different breeds, based on studies by the U. S. Meat Animal Research Center (MARC), Clay Center, Nebraska. Adjustment factors have been calculated by MARC since 1993. These adjustments are different from the last report in 2017, some by a notable amount. Adjustments were updated using EPDs from the most recent national cattle evaluations conducted by eighteen breed associations (current as of December, 2020). Adjustments for some breeds are not available if they are not in the MARC database. The base for comparison is Angus.
