Selection pressure for temperament drives big shift in Limousins
Beef Central, 25/11/2020 – by Toni Nugent (ALBS)![]()
(A full version of the article is on the Limousin NZ website: www.limousin.co.nz )![]()
“Once EBVs for docility of sires became available in 2000, the breed started to make significant genetic progress and has continued this progress steadily since then.
The average docility EBV for 2018-born calves was +41 compared to an average of +3.5 for calves born in 2000. The average docility EBV for dams has also increased steadily from +1.5 in 2000 to +33 in 2018, due to culling of cows with poor docility EBVs and having replacement heifers with good docility EBVs to select from (see Figure 1).
Average Docility EBVs for Limousin calves born (1991-2018) and their dams.
Source: Australian Limousin Breeders Society (2019)
The average docility EBV of the 20 most widely used Limousin AI sires has also increased from +0.5 in 1998 to +48.7 in 2018.”
