I’d like to do my own inhouse multiplication. Why does Choice want me to spend the time and money doing single sire mating, and tagging and identifying all the gilts?

There are several reasons.

First, if there is some problem and the gilts are identified we may be use the pedigree information to help solve it.

Second, we can use the reproductive data from the GGP and GP herd in our genetic evaluations to increase their accuracy in all M# herds. Also, we can help you to make better selection of your replacement base on genetic quality of the animals.
