? a rather vague comment on which to base breeding decisions.

These daughters provide 50% of the mating and will probably come from dams with a variety of sires.Use a programme such as Atltamate will be a good option it will look at the conformation of daughters to be mated,avoid inbreeding and take into account the farms production and health goals in a breeding programme.We have used Altamate successfully now for 4 years and in the last 6 months have gone to the next level and used Value Builder.
