The new composite includes two additional traits: the linear trait, rear legs—rear view, and the major breakdown for feet and legs. The composite is nearly three times more informative in explaining herdlife differences between cows than the old composite values. Four traits are used in the composite. The new formula is based on a 50:50 ratio of the three linear traits combined with the major breakdown score for feet and legs. The three linear traits will be weighted as follows: .48 foot angle + .37 rear legs rear view - .15 rear legs side view. New F&L Composite = .5 (linear traits) + .5 (feet and leg breakdown) Longer herdlife is obtained by selecting animals that transmit a steep er foot angle, wider rear leg stance with little or no hock-in, and a straighter leg set. ‘The new Feet and Leg composite will help dairy producers breed a longer-lasting, more profitable cow,” according to Tom Lawlor, director of research and development at the Holstein Association USA. 3 I l0IBSI{l^^)ilf j We would like to buy your 609 type tobacco. j We are paying the highest prices around! ►!
