ABSTRACT

The past quarter-century in genetic evaluation of dairy cattle has been marked by evolution in methodology and computer capacity, expansion in the array of evaluated traits, and globalization. Animal models replaced sire and sire-maternal grandsire models and, more recently, application of Bayesian theory has become standard. Individual test-day observations have been used more effectively in estimation of lactation yield or directly as input to evaluation models. Computer spe...
