High Impact Bulls: What should (Your) Top 1% Look Like?
What makes a bull impactful? What makes him valuable? Ask these questions to any producers or stud company and you will likely get an assortment of different answers. But that doesn’t mean we can’t find some commonalities and basic markers to help you answer that question as it applies to your own operation.
It’s fair to say that high impact, high value bulls are those who improve genetics and economics. Those who are considered in the top 1% of their respective breeds according to genomics tend to excel in both of these. But of course, at the rapid pace of genetic progress the ideal and top 1%s for any given trait or overall index is a revolving door. What you need is to find sires who match your criteria at any given point. Selecting bulls who follow the patterns of breed and type index leaders in relation to your specific needs and goals can, however, help your cows at least trend towards those elite ideals.
