Abstract

Application The development of a UK terminal combined breed genetic evaluation (CBGE) will enable, for the first time, accurate genetic evaluations for cross bred animals. In addition, it will provide an improved service to the UK sheep industry allowing more frequent genetic evaluations. Both these aspects will help to engage farmers, resulting in increased use of Estimated Breeding values (EBVs) and ultimately improving the genetic progress of the UK sheep industry.
