[QUOTE="UG, post: 1546401, member: 714"] Those considering profiling commercial heifers should also check out the Igenity Beef Profile from Neogen. The GeneMax profile was developed for Angus heifers. The Igenity Beef Profile was developed from Angus, Red Angus, Hereford, Limousin, Gelbvieh, and Simmental cattle, and validated to cattle of these six breeds and crosses. Neogen provides genomic scores on a scale from1 to 10 on sixteen traits including Calving Ease Maternal, Weaning Weight, Milk, Docility, several carcass traits, etc. The cost for this profile is $29 and includes parentage verification. The higher the Igenity score, the more genetic potential for that trait. As someone pointed out in a previous post, a 10 isn't necessarily ideal. For example, most of us don't want our beef cows to milk too heavy, don't want cattle with too much or too little back fat, etc. In addition to the Igenity scores, the heifers that are profiled are also ranked on a couple different indexes, which is helpful when evaluating which heifers to keep in the herd and which ones to sell.
