All of our stud Estimated Breeding Values data is accessible via the Murray Grey Society database. Enter “ERR” as the Animal Identifier and search.
An animal’s breeding value is its genetic merit, half of which will be passed on to its progeny. While we will never know the exact breeding value, for performance traits it is possible to make good estimates. These estimates are called Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs).
Murray Grey Breedplan – Understanding the EBVs, Selection Indices and Accuracy
EBVs are published for a range of traits covering fertility, calving ease, milking ability, growth, carcase merit and feed efficiency. When using EBVs to assist in selection decisions it is important to achieve a balance between the different groups of traits and to place emphasis on those traits that are important to the particular herd, markets and environment. One of the advantages of having a comprehensive range of EBVs is that it is possible to avoid extremes in particular traits and select for animals with balanced overall performance.
