4. A rancher runs a closed herd of breeding cattle. He normally keeps and breeds the top 2% of his bull calves based on individual performance for yearling weight (YW). His sires average three years of age when their offspring are born. He is trying to decide between two female replacement strategies: Saving the top 20% of his heifers based on YW (Lf = 6 years) Saving the top 50% of his heifers based on YW (Lf =...

Hello. Could anyone please help me with this genetics questions. This is all the information I was given regarding the questions. I would greatly appreciate it. 2. In a herd of 500 cows, each with one calf, weaning weight was recorded as a selection criterion. The mean values for bull and heifer calves were 270Kg and 230 Kg respectively, and the phenotypic standard deviation was P = 40Kg in each sex. a) What would you expect to be the weight...
