[QUOTE="Princess Pooper, post: 7645523, member: 971"] Of course management is to help them realise their potential, within a given system. But how do you know their potential if you pay no attention to genetics? There have been a few comments recently about milk recording and what it has told us about beef breed performance - they tend to produce not a lot of a pretty crap milk, so there must be something in genetic merit! Yes, half the potential comes from the dam, but half her potential came from her sire, good, bad or indifferent (and if you want to, you can use genomic screening on the dam now as well). [/QUOTE]
