I’m in scheme and stayed in by 20 per cent of folks you joined have also left .. Just a pity that he minister civil servants took an opportunity to give folks that did not believe in this scheme a kick when they are down

I've lots of older cows than that which can't count towards my 50%. Also its the original rating the animal gets, so again I have a few cows which are now rated as 3* but were originally rated as 4*, they are eligible. Likewise if you had a cow rated originally at 3* shes doesn't count towards your final number. You can check their first genomic rating on the ICBF website, click on herd profile, search for the animal, click on their number and theres a tab for genomic profile, the one highlighted is the relevant scoring

The whole scheme is a shambles at this stage, genomics isn't doing what they said it would. Animal ratings are changing wildly after getting a genomic evaluation.

Cows that have been genotyped since the beginning of the scheme have gone from 5* to 3* and back to 5* again over a few years. You couldn't make it up.

Some of my best cows are rated my worst even though they produce calves every 365 or less and calves weigh and sell well. And numerous calvings and data to back it up. And vice versa with high star animals. It's pure guess work and jobs for the boys and profiteering from AI companies with the next big fashionable bull. The only benefit is its handy money for very little work. Wouldn't be basing my breeding regime on it though
