Observed progeny performance validates the benefit of mating genetically elite beef sires to dairy females.

Journal of dairy science - 1 Mar 2020

Berry D P, Ring S C

Abstract excerpt

While several studies in cattle have confirmed the improved performance achievable from selection on total merit indexes, these studies have solely been confined to specific-purpose beef or dairy total merit indexes. Validation studies of total merit indexes used to select beef sires for use on dairy females are lacking. The objective here was to fill this void by quantifying the performance of beef × dairy...
