4 / 24 since the genomic breeding values is the key step in genomic selection and we are using younger bulls as sire of sons, mak- ing breeding evaluations more often became obvious. nowadays we made the evaluation every three months and show the bulls? official breeding values when they are 10 months old. however, some of them lose the chance to be evaluated because they have not reached the age by the time the evaluations are being made. to facilitate most bulls entering evaluations as soon as they have completed 10 months, the nordic cattle genetic evaluation (nav) have decided to evaluate and publish all genomic breeding values every month. with the new provi- sion farmers will have more options to choose from. the new measure is going to rule from 1 june. this also means that for example bulls on daily plan can have some minor changes in breeding values between the four major in- dex runs which run in february, may, august and november. breeding values based on daughter information will still be evaluated only four times per year. genomic breeding values will be updated each month by lars nielsen, head of breeding, vikinggenetics in may 2016 young stock
