Abstract
New software called StockTake has been developed as a tool to assist beef cattle breeders assess and improve the rate of genetic progress in their breed and herds. StockTake uses existing data, recorded by each breed on their NBRS databases, to compute descriptive statistics for the breed that are used to describe and monitor changes in the basic “genetic” structure of the breed. Secondly, stepwise regression is used to determine key variables that explain differences in the rate of genetic progress, for a given period, across herds within a breed. Herds are rated for their performance in these variables to provide a benchmark of their breeding program against the average of other herds recorded in the breed.
