Improvement Of Beef Cattle Through Breeding Methods. Summary Of Results From Regional Project Nc-1, Keith E. Gregory
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
The major purpose of this project is to obtain information that beef cattle breeders can use to make maximum genetic improvement in all traits of economic value in beef cattle. The major objectives of NC-1 are the following: (1) to determine the traits of economic importance in beef cattle: (2) to assess their relative value; (3) to develop reliable methods and procedures for measuring and evaluating them; (4) to obtain estimates of their heritabilities; (5) to obtain estimates of the genetic and phenotypic correlations among all economically important traits; (6) to evaluate the effects and uses of inbreeding and heterosis; …

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
This publication provides a summary of the basic principles that should be considered in Record of Performance Programs with beef cattle. These principles are based on the results of research being conducted under Regional Project NC-1 as interpreted by the research personnel who participate in this effort.
