Impact of Genomics

The “Genomics Impact” page is a visual representation of how your heifer’s genetic evaluation for LPI, Pro$ and several traits changed from its Parent Average after genomic testing. Although the heifer’s resulting evaluation may increase or decrease with genomics, its level of Reliability will be higher. This means that you can be more confident with your breeding decisions. This change in the official genomic evaluation will be represented on a standardized scale - which lets you see if the change is significant or not from trait to trait. It’s important to remember that this tool shows you how your heifer’s evaluation has changed with genomics being included and that selection decisions should be based only on the animal’s official genetic evaluation.
