Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) are science-based tools that reveal an animal’s genetic potential. By separating genetics from environmental effects, EBVs help you see beyond appearance and identify genetics that drive growth, fertility, and profitability. Check out this flyer to learn how EBVs work and how they can help your flock’s future!
