Abstract
DeSireBullTM is a new decision support tool for commercial beef producers currently being developed by the NSW Department of Primary Industries, co-funded by Meat and Livestock Australia. It has been acknowledged that selecting a bull(s) can be a complex and overwhelming task for producers, when faced with large amounts of information on which to make their decision. Both producers and industry have developed ways to try and simplify the selection process, but this often results in sub-optimal decisions, negatively impacting the genetic progress of herds. DeSireBullTM aims to incorporate several strategies to simplify genetic information and aid producers in finding the right bull for their breeding objective.
