A number of important enhancements have been made to the calculation of Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) for Angus cattle in Australia and New Zealand (AngusPRO only).
The enhancements form part of the annual updates that are applied to the TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation (TACE), with the enhancements implemented in the December 2024 analysis.
Dairy Research Selection Index
In response to the growing demand for Angus genetics in the dairy sector, Angus Australia will launch a new Angus on Dairy Research Selection Index. This index will assist dairy farmers in selecting Angus genetics for beef production from dairy herds. The growing interest in producing quality beef from dairy cattle highlights the importance of this new tool, designed to improve the genetic selection process for dairy beef production.
