To be considered for selection, bulls must ideally be in the top one per cent of the breed for both Beef Value and Calving value as calculated in the BLUP evaluations at the time of selection.
The BLUPs of the individual state coefficients in our single component RCR panel data model can also be expressed as a weighted average.
More recently we have introduced BLUP data to improve our sire selection: our target is for the entire crop of young bulls to consistently find themselves within the breed's top 1pc on Beef Value, and Calving Value must be above average.
