How breeding candidates are ranked

Each selected trait receives equal weight. Igenity traits are standardized across the current Igenity population. Ultrasound traits are standardized against bulls in the same age class, using each bull’s latest measurement. Lower backfat is scored favorably.

AHCA lists include animals with an AHCA registration number. An index of 100 is average for its comparison population; 110 is one standard deviation above average. The semen filter uses confirmed active public listings and does not change the genetic ranking. This comparison does not yet account for pedigree relationships, calving ease, structural soundness, maternal traits, or breeder judgment.
