Genetic evaluations in beef cattle have evolved over the past 50 years relative to the hardware or software used, the statistical methodology underpinning them, and the traits evaluated. However, the underlying premise has remained the same; to generate predictions of genetic merit such that selection decisions can be made that materialize as phenotypic changes in commercial animals. The wide-spread availability and adoption of genomic technology has enabled more accurate genetic predictions of young animals albeit with the requirement of continual collection and reporting of phenotypic data.
