Genetics for mature size and excessive milk production, versus heifers that simply were born early or carry genetics for early growth with moderate mature size. If you didn’t test and sort heifers earlier, selection day may dawn without knowing much more than apparent post-weaning growth. Many commercial operations select bulls, even those used by artificial insemination (AI) simply to ensure a live calf, but much opportunity for genetic progress relative to mature size, milk production, growth potential and carcass merit is foregone without genomic information prior to breeding on the females.

Over time, using sires matched to the market and ranch environments offer opportunity to produce heifers that do the same. Proudly introducing... Many more say the best way to select replacement heifers is simply expose all potential keepers and retain those that conceive early, effectively selecting for early fertility and ranch adaptability.
