The Wathan Formula

The Wathan Formula is a method used by livestock breeders to evaluate the overall quality of an animal, especially in cattle breeding. It combines various important traits such as growth rate, reproductive ability, and carcass quality into a single score. This helps breeders identify animals with the best combination of desirable characteristics for breeding or sale. Essentially, it’s a mathematical way to assess and compare animals objectively, guiding decisions to improve future generations or select top-performing individuals efficiently.
