Putting the power of genomics to work for you
Always on the cutting edge of technology, Select Sires continues to lead the industry in utilizing DNA-marker technology by incorporating genomic information from USDA. There are many advantages to utilizing genomic information including:
- Improved reliability of current progeny testing results for low-heritability or later-expressed traits, including health and fitness traits.
- Predicts genetic merit of young animals with up to double the accuracy of traditional Parent Averages.
- Has the potential to speed up genetic improvement.
- Enables bull selection from a much wider genetic pool.
- Provides earlier information about genetic differences between siblings.
Today producers can use this new technology by ordering Select’s geneMax sires.
geneMAX sires are:
- 3-year-old bulls that are selected based on their new USDA genomic predictions
- Offered in conventional and gender SELECTed semen
- Calving-Ease bulls based on numerous actual calvings
- Offer highly sought-after sire stacks sooner with confidence
