January Sire Summary Diary: Many New Sires Graduate From PACE Program

Country Aire Man-O-Man 5635

By: Devan Funk, Genetic Development Manager

The January 2009 Genetic Sire Evaluations mark the first time that genomic data is included. Accelerated Genetics invested heavily to ensure that all active Holstein and Jersey sires were genotyped. Unfortunately, not all sires have their genomic information utilized, even though a particular sire had been genotyped. The current daughter information that was available for the January run was unable to be combined with the genomic data in time for the release. Because of this, sires could have one of three different types of evaluations:

a) Genomic evaluation combining genotype data with August daughter evaluations.

b) Traditional U.S. evaluation using current daughter information and no genotype data.

c) MACE evaluation using current U.S. daughter evaluations and other country's evaluations and no genotype data.
