Extract

Few Welsh Black Cattle breeders record their animals as part of formal selection schemes. However there are sale and pedigree data available on Welsh Black Cattle as recorded by the breed society. The aim of the current project was to examine the use of market price as a basis for selection. This is justified on the basis that detailed production records are not available and that price could be considered as an indicator that summarises physical characteristics.
