To some extent they are Canadian, however they are based on American, our older cattle are beat upon forever in comparison. Mother of one our bulls has an epd of 5 on milk, yet she brings home an eight hundred plus calf each fall. Canadian bred cattle are discounted on epd's unless they have AI sires in the back ground.
Good cattle, but epd's are lower because of that. If we have AI cattle they numbers are higher.
The Red Angus is or has changed to the American Epd standard. Hope this answers your question.
