NAV has now released the first breeding values for purebred beef bulls and cows. Breeding values are calculated jointly for calving, growth, and carcass traits for 5 breeds (Angus, Charolais, Simmental, Hereford, and Limousine). Beef breeding values are estimated 4 times per year (March, April, June, and November).
Information about the new beef breeding values and publication can be found under Beef cattle and Beef publication.
