Economic selection index development for Beefmaster cattle I: Terminal breeding objective.

Journal of animal science - 1 Mar 2017

Ochsner K P, MacNeil M D, Lewis R M, Spangler M L

Abstract excerpt

The objective of this study was to develop an economic selection index for Beefmaster cattle in a terminal production system where bulls are mated to mature cows with all resulting progeny harvested. National average prices from 2010 to 2014 were used to establish income and expenses for the system. Phenotypic and genetic parameter values among the selection criteria and goal traits were obtained from literature....
