Abstract

Considerable differences exist among prices for purebred dairy bull services. Much of this variation in prices can be explained by differences in heritable production and offspring physical traits. The specific values associated with individual heritable traits in dairy bull semen are estimated. A total performance index, a production transmitting ability type index, milk production, fat and protein content, production reliability, and certain udder and physical type traits were significant semen price determinants.
