[QUOTE="Bovine breeder, post: 1559873, member: 29557"] I think genomics has been an invaluable tool for all segments of the industry. For many traits it is worth the equivalent of data on 25-30 calves. Yes the raw scores can sometimes make you scratch your head, but I really believe most of the time it’s right. They’ve come a long way since they came out, and I think they will continue to do so with more data and more gene mapping. Of course The Holstein breed is a lot tighter gene pool and the management is more similar and there is more data to work with, but it has been huge for the dairies. ABS has 179 Holstein bulls today, and only 19 are daughter proven. The genetic progress is so fast that By the time the bull has milking daughters, he’s already been passed up [/QUOTE]
