EBV mustbe similar to PTAs?
Yes and no.
you must refer back to the breed average to see whether a bull/ram is actually better than average, your +10kg animal might be a lot worse than average but because it’s still a plus it looks good. Why they can’t do a base change where the average is reset to 0 every 5yrs like the dairy PTAs I
Having 0 as the average would make comparisons a lot simpler though
Going back nine pages ....to the start of this thread......If you rebase to zero, almost all of their sheep will have a negative index, which I can't see going down well.
Perhaps the ADHB realise the whole lot needs a bit of a
shake up/rationalisation and that's why they are creating a new post
just sayin'
