Cumulative selection and genetic change for weaning or yearling weight or for yearling weight plus muscle score in Hereford cattle.

Journal of animal science - 1 Apr 1994

Koch R M, Cundiff L V, Gregory K E

Abstract excerpt

Selection in three lines of Hereford cattle for 1) weaning weight (WWL), 2) yearling weight (YWL), and 3) an index of yearling weight and muscle score (IXL) was studied. Remnant foundation cows and semen from seven foundation sires were used to establish an unselected control line for the last 11...
