Florida Bull Test
The North Florida Research and Education Center, located in Marianna, Florida annually hosts the Florida Bull Test. By controlling the environmental factors in our test and taking Expected Progeny Differences (EPD) into account, the data clearly emphasizes the dual importance of genetics and environment in all cattle types. We hope consignors as well as buyers use this site to access data and become familiar with using this information to select superior cattle for the best possible herd.
