    they are interested in all calves that are born out of high genetic merit animals- these cows dont need to be pedigree just from milk recorded herds where traceability is accurate- i think each ai company will test about 5000calves a year afaik. got a call from lic yesterday about a calve that i didnt even register as pedigree cause his ebi is only 179- but his mother was a vg86 first calver from an ex90 3rd calver
