In this episode of The CDCB CowCast, CDCB’s Ezequiel Nicolazzi, Ph.D., and Taylor McWhorter, Ph.D., discuss the calculation of the August 2026 official genetic evaluation, including how the three new traits (DIA, RSP, and FSC) and four revised traits (DPR, CCR, HCR, and EFC) performed.
For reminders about the changes to reproductive performance traits that occurred in this month’s evaluations, listen to Episode 4, “Reproductive Tools for Today’s Dairies.”
