Pedigree Analysis & Progeny Description
Pep-Red, a Contender-Red son from the world-renown Windy-Knoll-View Pala family, continues to be a solid choice for breeders seeking to improve overall confirmation. We’ve seen Pep-Red daughters receiving high scores all over the country. They exhibit balance from head to tail, good bone substance and well-attached mammary systems.
As a 5-1-6 aAa coded bull, Pep is a complimentary match to nearly all mainstream bloodlines today that are dominated by 4-3-2 aAa bulls. Pep-Red is proving to be a very effective mating with many of the modern show-type cattle.
We recommend protecting Pep-Red on production. If you are looking for a R&W bull who will consistently improve confirmation, Pep is your bull!

comparable PTAT bulls
305-AA is the standardized milk, fat, and protein yield estimate used by CDCB to compare cows of different ages, parities, breeds, and regions on equal footing. According to CDCB and USDA AGIL, it represents “a 305-day lactation record at 36 months of age” — hence “Average Age,” or AA.
It replaced 305-ME (Mature Equivalent) in June 2024 for published records and was implemented in the calculation of CDCB genetic evaluations effective August 13, 2024. ME had been the standard since 1935.
How it is calculated
The new factors are applied as a series of separate multipliers for age-parity, season, previous days open, and milking frequency. Lactation records are adjusted upward or downward to what the cow would have been expected to produce as a 36-month-old, milked twice daily for 305 days.
Key adjustments include:
- Age-parity: Standardized to 36 months rather than ME’s mature range of 61–86 months depending on breed.
- Season/climate: Seasonal effects are now estimated within five regions defined by the average climate zone scores for each state, replacing the old three east-to-west geographic regions.
- Milking frequency: Still standardized to 2x milking, unchanged from ME.
- Previous days open: The methodology for this adjustment is also unchanged from ME.
