Prefix Report

The top 150 prefixes sorted by NM 1995base. A bull's Lifetime Net Merit is adjusted for the year that bull was born when calculating NM 1995base. The average Lifetime Net Merit is then calculated for all of a prefixes' bulls after the birth year adjustment. Averages are set to a 1995 base year.

Why adjust for a bull's birth year?

Prefixes that have sent bulls to A.I. only recently will have an advantage due to a positive genetic trend for Lifetime Net Merit. Adjusting for the birth year of a bull rewards those prefixes that have provided bulls to A.I. over a longer period of time.

Column Definitions

Number Sons:	Number of bulls used to calculate the genetic averages
Year:	Average birth year of a prefixes' bulls
NM 1995base:	Average Lifetime Net Merit of a prefixes' bulls adjusted for birth year and set to a 1995 base year
avgNM:	Average Lifetime Net Merit of a prefixes' bulls with NO adjustment for birth year
avgPTAP:	Average PTA for pounds of protein. (No adjustment for merit of mates).
avgPTAT:	Average PTA for final score. (No adjustment for merit of mates).
