Simmental Breedplan using the Percentile Table to rank animals within the breed
The Percentile Band Table indicates where an animal ranks in the breed for
each of its trait EBVs.
The Breed Average EBVs are shown as the “Highest 50%” percentile.
Some examples:
- An animal with a 200 Day Weight EBV of +25 kg ranks in the Top 10% of the breed when compared with all the 2006 calving year animals analysed in the 2008 (Autumn) Simmental Group Breedplan.
- An animal with a Birth Weight EBV of +0.8 kg ranks in the Top 30% of the breed.
- An animal with a Calving Ease Direct EBV of –1.9% ranks in the Lowest 20% of the breed for this trait.

Young Simmental Bull List
Each year the Association identifies up to 100 Breedplan Recorded young Simmental Bulls, identified as having superior overall performance potential, especially for growth, milk and calving ease traits. The Association emphasises that this listing is based on the following selection criteria and index calculation only. No assessment has been made for conformation, structural soundness or other selection criteria.
Basic Selection Criteria:
- Active, registered purebred bull, born July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2007.
- Bred in Australia in a herd that is well linked to the breed's performance database.
- The breeder (or current owner) to be a current stud member recording Breedplan data.
- The bull's 400 day weight EBV is in the top 30% for Current Year Animals
- The bull's Birthweight EBV is in the to 80% for Current Year Animals
- The bull's sire's EBV for Calving Ease (Direct) is in the top 80% for Current Year Animals
- The bull's maternal grandsire's EBV for Calving Ease (Direct) is in the
top 90% for Current Year Animals.
If not available, default value in selection index to -5.0%. - Each bull meeting these criteria is then assessed on the Breed's Self Replacing Supermarket Index.
