National Beef Sire Evaluation Program launched in Canada
A new national program to evaluate beef sires began last November as an extension of the Record of Performance system. It uses calf data from weaning, weight gains, and yearling weights to compare bulls, with 50 calves a year across five ROP herds needed for listing. Initial focus is weight performance, with carcass quality and calving ease to follow. Farmers can contact Agriculture Canada district supervisors or provincial agriculture livestock administrations for details.
