Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Improving female efficiency and resilience is a priority for beef cattle systems, where reproductive failure and early culling significantly affect sustainability and profitability. Longevity, fertility, and conformation traits provide complementary indicators of female performance, but their complex genetic architecture has limited progress in selection. This study aimed to investigate the genetic...
