Re: AI Matching
I would look at the cows (and herd) overall 300 day finished lactation and decide from that whether to chase more test % or litres.then I would look at the overall herd and individual type to decide what needed improving and then I would check pedigrees to make sure that they would click with what you have.

Re: AI Matching
broa, personally in our own herd we look at pedigree of the AI sire first.we dont really look that hard at individual production because by the time you take into account all the other reasons a cow gets culled for a body would have no cows left!Then we look at the actual production of a sires maternal line and like to see at least a 4% fat.99% of the time the sire should have positive componant deviations.we like to see a pretty high type rating but 9 times out of 10 the pedigree does tend to indicate what type gets transmitted.
