The Red Angus Association of America (RAAA) released an updated “suite of bio-economic selection indexes.”
The new index, Profitability and Sustainability (ProS), will work as a combination of the already-existing HerdBuilder and GridMaster indexes covering traits across all aspects from conception to carcass.
“Economic selection indexes are some of the best tools to help producers and commercial cattlemen and women with identifying animals that will improve the profitability of their operations. Using the updated ProS index will allow for improvement in the genetic potential of progeny to be profitable across all segments of the beef supply chain,” said Ryan Boldt, RAAA director of breed improvement.
Producers with questions about the new ProS index should contact Ryan Boldt at ryan@redangus.org.
