Editorial:

May 2012 Editorial

Do Genomic Proofs Really Hold Up?

Eighty-one (81) Jersey bulls came of age last month with the release of their first progeny test evaluations. Three of the 81 were immediately graduated to Active A.I. status, one of them jumping to the top spot on the Jersey Performance IndexTM rankings.

What sets the group apart is that it was the first to come of age in the genomic era. It was just three years ago, in January of 2009, that genomic evaluations became official, and three years ago, in April of 2009, that a new class of young bulls was defined for marketing: genomically evaluated with no daughter information in the proofs. To say that these G-code bulls have had a profound impact on the Jersey business since is an understatement.
