[QUOTE="Sandpit Farm, post: 7645460, member: 1646"] I guess so. Somebody would need to fund a company who could independently evaluate genetic data from daughters of different bulls. Not sure who would do that. If you were Cogent, would you give your data to Genus and vice versa? If the money isn't there to do this - we become tied to the genetics company we choose to use (a bit like the pig industry). So basically Cogent sired animals only get compared with Cogent sired animals and Genus only with Genus etc. It would limit the speed of genetic gain due to smaller genetic pools being analysed. For daughter production traits, heritability will be reduced. That is the way I see it. We must be careful what we wish for. [/QUOTE]
