Simmental Association Releases Fall Sire Summary
US - The American Simmental Association (ASA) has released its Fall 2006 Sire Summary.The Fall 2006 Sire Summary represents the 19th official run of the innovative Multiple-Breed International Cattle Evaluation (MB-ICE) system. Developed jointly by ASA and Cornell University, MB-ICE was the industry's first multi-breed genetic evaluation. It was developed to accommodate the needs of ASA members and their customers to better utilize breed complementarity in their crossbreeding programs. ASA EPDs are expressed on a single base regardless of breed makeup, thereby making cumbersome across-breed EPD adjustments unnecessary.
