PERFORMANCE TESTING

Performance testing has been carried out for many years and results have been tabulated on Brahman Group Breedplan for over 20 years.

The data are represented as Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) as compiled by Breedplan. The figures presented are kgs above or below the base herd average. An EBV is based on the animal's own performance, plus performance of all known relatives eg sire, dam, uncle, half-brothers etc and minimises environmental factors which can contribute to an animal's growth rate. The traits for which EBVs are available are 200-day milk, 200-day growth, 400-day weight and 600-day weight.

Mogul Brahman Stud's Herd Group Breedplan figures regularly exceed the national averages.
