    Pedigree is measured by evaluating cattle at 18 months old. Cattle are managed in groups of total cattle born in the same year, with 5-15% of males represented as sires. Selection criteria include body weight, height, length, and chest circumference. An index is calculated using these traits with a custom formula, and cattle are ranked based on their score. The top 5-15% highest ranked cattle are used for replacements, the next 35% for commercial stock, and the lowest 50% for beef cattle.
