UltraSELECT is a new genetic evaluation available to Angus Australia members breeding UltraBlack and Brangus animals, providing the opportunity for improved selection decisions and increased international trade of genetics. The collaborative genetic evaluation with International Brangus Breeders Association (IBBA) is available to animals registered in the Angus Australia Multibreed Register (MBR) with a breed composition of Brahman and Angus (predominantly UltraBlacks but including Brangus animals). The evaluation produces estimated breeding values (EBVs) for a specific list of traits.
To aid Angus Australia members to further understand UltraSELECT, an Angus Education Module has been produced.
