Subject: RE: winter hair coat on cattle


Eastern NE KS
Copied from Angus org:
"cattle tend to shed from front to back and top to bottom. Using Angus data, hair shedding has been found to have a moderate heritability of 0.42, falling between that of weaning weight and marbling."

Give the new epd a few years to identify high accuracy hair shedding line then carefully use this data to change your cattle to your target phenotype.
