Genetic Evaluation of Beef Sires Using a Beef‐on‐Dairy Crossbred Reference Population
ABSTRACT In recent years, Beef‐on‐Dairy (BoD) crossbreeding programs have gained momentum to enhance dairy cattle's economic and genetic merits while meeting the demand for high‐quality beef. However, bulls with superior growth potential can lead to calving problems; thus, Holstein dairy farmers must decide which semen to use to avoid calving problems ...

The expansion of the New Zealand dairy industry has increased the number of lower‐value surplus calves. A value‐add mitigation strategy is integrating them into the beef market. This study investigated the genetic association between growth traits recorded in the Beef + Lamb New Zealand's Dairy‐Beef and the Beef Progeny Test to estimate the genetic ...
