The World Angus Evaluation (WAE) is a globally focussed genetic analysis of Angus cattle. It combines data sources (phenotypes, genotypes and pedigree) from the American Angus Association®, Canadian Angus Association and Angus Australia with the results being Expected Progeny Differences (EPD), which are similar to Estimated Breeding Values (EBV), for a specific list of traits on Angus sires.

The WAE is facilitated by Angus Genetics Incorporated (AGI), which is a subsidiary of the American Angus Association (AAA).

Sires will appear in the search facility based on the following criteria: 

• Weaning Weight accuracy of at least 0.45 (BIF Accuracy)
• 5 or more weaning weight progeny 
• Have had 2 or more calves included in the herd book in the last 2 years. 

Sires will be updated in the search tool four times per year in the months of: 

• March 
• May
• August
• December 

Please note: The sires included on the WAE search tool will update quarterly, but as data from all three countries flow into the WAE routinely, the EPDs on the sires are updated on a weekly basis.
