EBV emphases (%):

Domestic

 
 

 

 

 


 

 

 


The red bar-graph shows the emphasis on individual EBVs that is aimed for in the Charolais Domestic $Index.  The signs show the direction of the emphasis.

 

These emphases reflect the underlying profit drivers in commercial production for this market, and take account of the genetic relationships between the trait EBVs and those profit drivers.

 

When $Index values are calculated, the weightings that are applied to each EBV are in actual units ($/kg, $/cm etc).  These weightings have been converted to standardised percentages (%) here to illustrate the relative emphases.
