Genetic Evaluation Schedules
CDCB releases genetic evaluations at various times - weekly, monthly, and triannually - to best serve the diverse needs of animal owners and stakeholders. CDCB, data partners, and genomic nominators work diligently to meet these deadlines to expedite genetic and genomic evaluations for all relevant animals.
