eBEEF.org Monday: Beef Cattle Economic Selection Indices
Selection indices provide a single value,
usually reported in dollars, for the selection of breeding stock that optimizes
selection on a number of traits that define profit in a particular production
scenario. Selection indices simplify selection by weighting EPDs by
appropriate economic values to estimate the net merit of a selection candidate
under a predefined breeding objective or goal.
Please see the fact sheet for more information.
