Updates to Dollar-Value Indexes: Interview With Kelli Retallick-Riley
from AJ Daily · host Angus Journal
Updates to Dollar-Value Indexes When trying to select for several traits that influence profitability at once, many cattlemen turn to the American Angus Association’s Dollar-Value Indexes.

That can cause some shifts in numbers and re-ranking of animals. Kelli Retallick-Riley, president of Angus Genetics Inc., gives a preview of what will change on June 2, what won’t and what that means to you. Visit AngusJournal.net for more and to subscribe.
