Breeding Decision Report

FE is known to be a hereditary trait. For this reason, FE is a crucial tool for building a future herd.

Goal: Use the Breeding Decision report to curate a more genetically efficient herd by selecting semen type and number of inseminations according to FE and IOF ranking.

The detailed report provides a guide to determine which animals have the best FE and IOF and which are the lowest.

Cows included in the report: Cows eligible for insemination.

Use cases: Use the Breeding Decision Report to make the following decisions:

• Select cows for sexed semen

• Select cows for beef semen

• Choose DIM ranges based on VWP
