Angus SteerSELECT Genetic Effects

The Angus SteerSELECT genetic effects table enables the assessment of the genetic differences between animals tested with Angus SteerSELECT in real terms by providing the predicted genetic difference per ten (10) unit change in Angus SteerSELECT values. The genetic effects table can be used to predict the difference between two animals. For example, an animal with a Carcase Weight genetic prediction of 80 would be expected to produce progeny that are, on average, 26.1 kg heavier at around 2 years of age, compared to an animal with a Carcase Weight genetic prediction of 30, all other things being equal.

[Working: 5.22 kg genetic difference per 10-unit SteerSELECT value, 26.1 kg (5.22 x 5) genetic difference per 50-unit SteerSELECT value]
