Economic selection index development for Beefmaster cattle II: General-purpose breeding objective.

Journal of animal science - 1 May 2017

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

Abstract excerpt

An economic selection index was developed for Beefmaster cattle in a general-purpose production system in which bulls are mated to a combination of heifers and mature cows, with resulting progeny retained as replacements or sold at weaning. National average prices from 2010 to 2014 were used to establish income and expenses for the system. Genetic parameters were obtained from the literature. Economic values were...
