Angus SteerSELECT Development

Angus SteerSELECT DevelopmentBanner

Through utilisation of Angus Australia’s genomic and phenotypic database, Angus SteerSELECT provides the most accurate genetic predictions possible for Angus steers in Australian and New Zealand production systems. 

 Angus SteerSELECT genetic predictions are calculated based on analysis of Angus Australia’s extensive genomic and phenotypic database. Collated over many years, this database combines the DNA profiles of Australian and New Zealand Angus animals with comprehensive performance measurements collected in respective beef production systems. 

Modern scientific knowledge, developed by CSIRO, enables the association between the DNA profiles and performance measurements to be analysed, and genetic predictions to be calculated from the DNA profiles of the steers tested with Angus SteerSELECT.
