@mixed farm heifers look smart even more convinced by a cross back. What will you serve them to?

 

[mixed farm]

Excuse my ignorance but I can't seem to get up any classifieds other than machinery. What am I doing wrong? Or how do I get specific ads?

Cheers.

Had a quick look at Genus' offering at a similar pli and he certainly holds his own. It could be argued he has even more going for him.
You must be chuffed, well done.

So does it take out the "dam" side of breeding then.
So a daughter proof will be 50% dam and sire where as the genomic is 100% sire?

The figure will be halved and combined with half of the mothers PTA's giving us a parental average for the individual traits. This is the same wether a genomic or proven Sire is used.

 

[RPB]

There will be a scientific % comparison but I would suggest the distribution of the heifers and the % of which are et are bigger factors. I think the genomic numbers still have an influence at such low numbers.

The correlation between a genomic and daughter based proof is over 0.8 (AHDB Research)

Thanks, the thing I like about him is that he has wide chests, wide rumps good body depth and tall stature. I think he would add strength to Holsteins and British friesian cows
