@Brilea_Hols if it scores high on a test doesn make it better a test can be designed to make anythng look good by what it includes and omits

@Brilea_Hols actually the reliability is the main problem, they cant accurately read all traits which is why the reliability is so low

@Brilea_Hols to risky to gamble my living on the latest marketing tool from large companies designed to attract foreign investment

@Brilea_Hols actually the purest form of science is trial and error in which something is tried and the result analyzed like proving bulls

@Brilea_Hols the only difference between genomic and regular test bulls is an inaccurate test says one is better and the price tag of course

@Brilea_Hols geno tests are creating higher proofs initially because the higher price makes breeders use on best cows inflating first proofs

@Brilea_Hols but it doesnt make sense to select the next generation of bulls from those g sires before they have been proven

@Brilea_Hols doesnt matter what drives the price it creates inflated results either way which is bad for reliability and accuracy

For all the dairy farmers wondering who's hogging all the heifer calves...its us...sorry
