Cattle EBV Trials

Results from four trials carried out at Harper Adams University since the year 2000 are attached below and they clearly demonstrate the physical and financial benefits of looking at figures such as Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) and Breeding Indexes when selecting sires for mating.
