Latest Genetic Evaluation and Trait Leaders Online
As most of you know, we will be updating our genetic evaluations four times a year. We will still continue to print a hard copy of the Spring and Fall sire summary runs only. All runs will be available online. The most current BBU genetic evaluation can be found on the BBU website which includes animals (progeny) data that have been entered into the system up to May 1, 2010. Trait leaders can be found at the same location. This evaluation will not be available in hard copy but will be on the web page. The next evaluation will take place in the Fall 2010. Animal data must be submitted prior to August 1, 2010 to be included in the Fall 2010 Sire Summary. Contact Collin Osbourn should you have questions.
