The genetic trend of proven dairy bulls is shown in Graph 4.<strong>11</strong>. Bulls born in 2006 are first proven in the <strong>2010</strong>/<strong>11</strong> season.<br />

Young bulls are initially selected for use in Artificial Breeding based on the genetic merit of their sire and dam. These young sires are then<br />

progeny tested to estimate their Breeding Worth more accurately, via the performance of their daughters. Each year some progeny tested bulls<br />

are returned to service for use as proven sires.<br />

Table 4.<strong>11</strong> shows the number of sires, by birth year and breed, for which the Reliability of the BW was at least 75%. The information in this<br />

table is updated every year for all age groups to include older bulls that have now been proven in <strong>New</strong> <strong>Zealand</strong>.<br />
