[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1546653, member: 16453"] Steve, I don't have any experience with it, I believe some big commercial operations are trialing it and they are doing they commercial heifer progeny in Angus Australia bull Benchmarking programme where a cohort of about 30 young bulls from Australia and some from overseas including the US have semen inseminated into about 100 commercial heifers from cooperator herds and the progeny are followed through to slaughter for the steers and calving for the heifers. It takes a while to get the info so I haven't seen any follow up on the Heifer Select as yet but they do give very good feed back and reporting. The programme has been going on for about 9 years now but the heifer select only for a couple of years. One thing that has come out of this is that the EBV's of young bulls going into the programme have been pretty reliable after all the data at the end goes in. Ken [/QUOTE]
