2. At the very top of the page click on the menu and under Angus.Tech heading click ‘Angus SELECT’.
3. Under ‘Searching across multiple catalogues’, select ‘Angus ASBPSELECT‘.
Step 1 – Entering Cohort Selection Criteria
4. The first step when using Angus ASBPSELECT is to identify which cohort/s you want to search within. Users can either select from the currently listed cohorts using the drop down box beside sale or;
- Selecting multiple cohorts from the drop-down box
- Select the first cohort you want to include in your search from the drop down box. Click the ‘+’ sign which will appear beside the box to add a new drop down box below the first. Use the second drop down box to select the second cohort to include in your search. Repeat this process until all cohorts have been selected. Importantly the ‘+’ sign will only appear after the first cohort is selected.
5. Once you have selected the cohort/s you wish to search click ‘Proceed to animal selection criteria’

The criteria you can enter are displayed under 5 tabs; Animal details, Breeding, Genetic Tests, EBVs and Progeny Performance. Click on the relevant tab to bring up the additional selection criteria to select from (as an example to search for a HBR registered bull, in the top 20% of the breed for ABI who’s progeny ranked in the top 5 for both carcase IMF and MSA ossification).
7. On the ‘Animal details‘ tab for register select ‘HBR‘ by clicking the square in front of the word HBR.
8. Click on to the EBVs tab, and for Australian Breeding Index (ABI) you can either put in the minimum breeding value for the 20% or alternatively type ‘20‘ in the box to the left of the slide bar for ABI.
9. Click the Progeny Performance tab, in the box beside ‘Carcase IMF’ replace the 50 with a 5 and in the box beside ‘MSA Ossification’ replace the 50 with a 5.
