Tips and tricks:
- Check out how the sires rank here, and start building a bull team.
- This selection tool doesn’t include traits where the ‘mid-point’ is optimal (i.e. teat placement) head over to the bull team builder to refine your team for these traits
- Want to know what criteria you should set? Check out our Animal Stats page to see the BVs of top-ranking bulls and cows
- This tool includes every bull enrolled with Animal Evaluation in NZ. If you can’t find a bull that you are interested in, get in touch with the marketer and let them know that you would like the bull to be enrolled. Marketers pay a fee to enroll bulls, and this is a key funding stream for NZAEL.
