Animals recorded in the MBR that have a listed breed composition of Brahman and Angus (predominantly Ultrablacks, but including Brangus animals) are automatically included in the evaluation.
Angus Australia has worked with IBBA to set-up a pipeline that allows data (pedigree, phenotypes and genotypes) to flow seamlessly between companies for inclusion in UltraSELECT. As a result, the recorded performance data and genotypes for eligible animals and that of their pedigree are analysed, providing that it meets the IBBA parameters. The vast majority of data submitted to the TACE evaluation is suitable to be included in the UltraSELECT evaluation.
An updated collection of performance data guideline for both TACE and UltraSELECT will be provided to UltraBlack and Brangus breeding members.
