Heifer pregnancy (HPG) and Stayability (STAY) are female reproductive traits that have EPD reported by the Red Angus Association of America. Challenges arise when making genetic predictions for these traits. Specifically, HPG and STAY phenotypes can only be collected on females retained in the breeding herd and have low heritability estimates. Additionally, STAY is measured late in an animal’s life. The objective of this research was to investigate the genetic relationships between HPG or STAY and 13 other traits, which included measurements of growth, carcass, ultrasound, and scrotal circumference. For STAY relationships between mature weight (MW), body condition score (BCS), teat score (TS), and udder suspension score (US) were also evaluated. Data from 142,146 and 164,235 animals were used in the analyses for HPG and STAY, respectively. Genetic relationships were investigated using a series of 2 trait animal models and a REML procedure. In all analyses, the appropriate contemporary groups were included as a fixed effect, and direct genetic as a random effect. Additional fixed effects included as follows: sex for weight, carcass and ultrasound traits, age of dam for weight traits, and age of measurement for ultrasound, carcass, BCS, udder traits, and MW. Maternal genetic effects for preweaning gain (Pre-WG), weaning weight (WW), and yearling weight (YW) were also modeled. Permanent environmental effects of the dam were modeled for the traits Pre-WG and WW. Permanent environment of the individual for the traits MW, BCS, TS, and US was also included. Heritability estimates were 0.12 ± 0.01 and 0.10 ± 0.01 for HPG and STAY, respectively. Heritability estimates for direct genetic effects of production traits were moderate to high in magnitude, maternal heritability estimates were low, and permanent environmental effects accounted for 0.00 to 0.18 of the total variation. The strongest genetic correlations were those among Pre-WGD (0.24 ± 0.08), WWD (0.18 ± 0.08), YWD (0.20 ± 0.07), ultrasound rib eye area direct (0.16 ± 0.08), and ultrasound backfat direct (0.14 ± 0.08) and HPG. The highest genetic correlations were between STAY and WWM (0.54 ± 0.05), YWM (0.36 ± 0.07), backfat (0.53 ± 0.20), marbling score (0.40 ± 0.20), UREA (0.19 ± 0.07), ultrasound backfat (0.37 ± 0.07), TS (0.30 ± 0.11), and US (0.23 ± 0.11). Relationships between HPG or STAY and other traits were minimal. These results suggest that genetic relationships exist between HPG or STA |

Heifer pregnancy (HPG) and Stayability (STAY) are female reproductive traits that have EPD reported by the Red Angus Association of America.

The objective of this research was to investigate the genetic relationships between HPG or STAY and 13 other traits, which included measurements of growth, carcass, ultrasound, and scrotal circumference. For STAY relationships between mature weight (MW), body condition score (BCS), teat score (TS), and udder suspension score (US) were also evaluated. Data from 142,146 and 164,235 animals were used in the analyses for HPG and STAY, respectively. Genetic relationships were investigated using a series of 2 trait animal models and a REML procedure. In all analyses, the appropriate contemporary groups were included as a fixed effect, and direct genetic as a random effect. Additional fixed effects included as follows: sex for weight, carcass and ultrasound traits, age of dam for weight traits, and age of measurement for ultrasound, carcass, BCS, udder traits, and MW. Maternal genetic effects for preweaning gain (Pre-WG), weaning weight (WW), and yearling weight (YW) were also modeled. Permanent environmental effects of the dam were modeled for the traits Pre-WG and WW. Permanent environment of the individual for the traits MW, BCS, TS, and US was also included.
