Braunvieh World Winter 2024

Are You a Performance Leader or Pro?

By Robert Williams, President, Braunvieh Association of America

During the August Braunvieh Association of America (BAA) Board of Directors meeting , the board passed a new pro gram to encourage more data reporting and recognize breeders who meet certain levels of data submission. The Performance Leader submits data on at least 90 percent of their calf crop for the following traits:  Birth weight or calving ease

 Weaning weight  Yearling weight  Docility  Mature cow weight

The Performance Pro meets requirements of the Performance Leader , plus 100k genomic test on 90 percent of their birth group. The 90 percent requirement is of the remaining animals in the contemporary group. Animals removed from the contemporary group, whether they are sold, culled or dead, will not be counted in the 90 percent. BAA members will be eligible for the program by report ing the required data. There is no application process,

and this program is monitored by the BAA office. The dates for the program coincide with your yearly calf crop. When all data is reported within the required time frame, producers will be eligible. BW
