Breeding for polledness is relatively easy, as the polled trait is determined by one gene that is dominant. Animals born polled can be heterozygous (Pp) or homozygous (PP) polled. This means they have inherited the gene only from their dam or sire, or from both parents. Thanks to our progressive breeding goals, the genetic level has improved tremendously in recent years. The further development of CRV’s polledness breeding programme will increase the potential to breed homozygous polled bulls with perfect breeding values.
