Abstract excerpt
The objective of this study was to estimate economic returns and costs associated with 4 scenarios of genetic evaluation that combine genotypes, phenotypes, and pedigree information from a vertically integrated purebred (PB) and commercial (CM) beef cattle system. Inference was to a genetic evaluation for a production system producing Charolais terminal sires for 10,000 CM cows. The first genetic evaluation...
