Sire summary breakdown
(Continued from Page D2l)
production on the daughters might
be less than a hundred, and those
records are projected to three
hundred and five.”
The projected records, a recent
change in summaries, has allowed
bulls to be summarized at least six
months earlier than they had been,
said Roth.
“The predictions are pretty
accurate,” Roth said. “Generally,
it will forecast bulls on the low side
than on the high side. ”
In the next two figures, the
summary mil also indicate the
percentage of daughters culled in
their first lactation and the per
centage.of first calf heifers that
haven’t finished a record.
A bull’s family or pedigree in
fluence is listed in parentheses,
Olver pointed out.
“Bulls are placed in various
pedigree categories depending on
their sires and maternal grand
sire,” said Olver.
“As a bull has few daughters, the ~
pedigree influence is generally
larger. As he gets higher in
repeatability, the pedigree in
fluence gets down to nothing,” he
noted.
A pedigree influence reaches its
maximum at about 50 percent
repeatability, a measure of the
buU’s actual performance, not his
family’s.
Finally, the predicted dif-

HARRISBURG -
Thousands ot deer are
being lost to icy con
ditions in Pennsylvania,
according to Uame
Commission held
reports.
_ Several thousand
whitetails have been
tound'dead and uijured
in the’ uurthceiiiral pai l
' ot the stale alone, with
Clinton, Lycoming/
Tioga, Potter, Cameron,
and Elk Countries being
- hardest hit. ~ -
Deer lose their touting
on Steep moiuitauis and'
lulls, and often slide
■ from the top ota ridge to
the bottom, unless they
encounter a tree or rock
on the way down. Backs,,
necks, legs and ribs'ace*
usually broken, utten
resulluig in the death ot,
the deer,
in numerous in-
stances, the deer's hind
teet and legs go ui op
posite directions on ice,
' resulting in split
pelvises. Ot course,
these deer perish loou.
Thus tar, starvation
losses have been
relatively low, but a
continuation ot severe
weather undoubtedly
will result in additional
mortality.
The statewide
situation thus tar is not
ot catastrophic
proportions, but it
becomes more serious
as winter continues its
mean onslaught ot 1982.
ferences for milk, fat, test and
dollars, ranks a bull with other
summarized sires.
Roth expressed concern that
breeders may have a false notion
that, the highest PD bull is
automatically going to sire more
milk per cow.
In all probability, a breeder may
find that a group of animals sired
by a high PD bull will milk more
than a group sired by a lower PD
sire, explained Roth.
However, Roth pointed out that
within the group sired by a lower
PD bull, a breeder may have a cow
that, in any given lactation, will
produce more than the highest
producing daughter of the high PD
sire.
An important tool on.the sum
mary has been the use of PD$,
reported Olver.
“When PD dollars first came
out," said Olver, “it gave us a way
to compare bulls that sired a lot of
milk and no test as opposed to bulls
that sired high test and not quite as
much milk.’’
Each year, thousands of young
bulls enter sampling programs,
either through established studs,
syndicates or breeders.
When using young sires, Roth
stressed the importance of ran
domness.
“A bull that’s accepted for the
young sire sampling program has
as good a chance as the next young

In the wild, animals improved
their species through natural

superior individuals depends on a
