[QUOTE="artesianspringsfarm, post: 1583327, member: 20360"] Not a matter of "want". Like CP said, I also watched the dairy industry go from relying on progeny results to create indexes to relying on genomic testing. The main people that were excited were large scale dairies that didnt want to take the time to consider phenotype and actually looking at animals. Now I see the same thing on here all day where someone thinks they can mate a -2 sire to a +2 sire and simple as that, the math works. Only problem is, its not that simple and genomic testing does not change that. Prepotency and a focus on phenotype are still the best ways to predictably and reliably get what you intend to out of a mating. [/QUOTE]
