Animal breeding is the application of the principles of animal genetics with the goal of improvement of animals. Knowledge of genetic principles allows a cattle producer to understand what needs to be done in changing animal type and performance to meet man's desires and needs. Genetic improvement can be accomplished through selection and mating systems.
Selection refers to the decision of using some animals as parents of offspring and culling others.
Commercial producers also generate genetic improvement through selection, but they use mating systems, particularly crossbreeding . This is an automated directory for cattle buyers. Simply select the breed of your choice, then you can locate and view cattle from various ranches.
