First bulls testing >3600 GTPI in the United States!
August 12, 2026 The new indexes from the United States are ONLINE! A new proof and this one brings some changes to the American Holstein proofs. CDCB has rebuilt the way female fertility is calculated. Two traits you already know are getting a new way of calculation, and one brand new trait joins the list. For DPR - Daughter Pregnancy Rate. The old formula assumed every farm waited exactly 50 days after calving before breeding again. In reality that ranges from 40 to 90 days, and that is a management choice, not genetics. The new formula uses each herd's real waiting period. Cow Conception Rate.
