Dairy
bulls are evaluated using progeny data and genomic testing to determine the quantity
of specific traits that they will pass to their daughters. Some bulls excel in
some traits but not others. Specifying these various traits as outputs, with the
single input of insemination, technical, revenue, allocative, and profit
efficiency of bulls available for artificial insemination are estimated using
Free Disposal Hull. Although bulls generally are highly technically efficient,
since only high performing bull semen is offered for sale, bulls are less
revenue, allocative and profit efficient. These efficiencies are relative to
peer bulls, and can be updated as new bulls become available.
