CHB Sires

CHB SiresThe Certified Hereford Beef Sire of Distinction (CHBS) program recognizes Hereford bulls that have excelled in carcass traits. The Board initiated this program in August 2007.
 
To qualify as a CHBS, a bull must
  • Be in the top 25% for the CHB$ profit index.
  • Have a minimum accuracy level of 30% for both ribeye area (REA) and marbling (MARB) expected progeny difference (EPD).
The CHBS distinction is used to recognize sires in the Hereford breed that excelled in improving carcass traits. Although all bulls have the opportunity, only a few bulls will be recognized.

A bull receiving the CHBS status will be recognized with CHB after his name when doing an animal or EPD inquiry on Hereford.org.
