How does Top Studs work?
Top Studs has been developed to put EBV data into an easy-to-understand and more digestible format. The data used in the Top Studs book is based on the 2022 drop data within Breedplan to create an average of genetic traits at a stud.
The animals in a stud will vary around this, but the overall average is important as it represents their current genetic base and the breeding strategy for the stud.
Each trait is represented by its bar in the graph and is colour-coded according to the category, making it easy to compare studs.
