MateSel stands for Mate Selection — a powerful tool developed by Brian and Sandy Kinghorn, to support structured, data-driven mating decisions. MateSel is used across a range of livestock industries globally and is now increasingly applied in Australian beef breeding, including the Angus breed.
MateSel takes the hard work out of balancing genetic gain and inbreeding by helping breeders generate an optimised list of suggested and backup matings based on their herd data and specific breeding goals.
