Performance Star Rating

Video on Improving your Star Rating

A COP “star rating” is also calculated for each herd based on the proportion of calves within the herd born in a fixed 5 year period that have performance recorded for each trait. This star rating is available in the CoP report and, for some breeds, is also available on Internet Solutions. This provides bull buyers with an indication of how much performance has been submitted to BREEDPLAN by an individual seedstock herd when looking at the EBVs for their animals. Therefore if EBVs are an important part of their selection decision, then the star rating will enable buyers to easily identify herds that are recording complete performance information, and hence use the EBVs presented on the animals with confidence. For breeds that display the star rating, users also have the ability to limit animal, EBV, sale catalogue and member searches based on a minimum Completeness of Performance star rating criteria.

What is the value of the Completeness of Performance Report and Star Rating? The CoP report and star rating allows each herd to assess how “complete” the information is for their animals and importantly to identify areas in which additional performance information could potentially be recorded. It is also an invaluable tool for detecting where data has not been submitted to BREEDPLAN.

How to improve your CoP star rating 1. Work out which traits you aren’t recording (and which are of interest to you or your clients) 2. Work out which traits you are recording but could record a greater percentage of animals for 3. Make the necessary management changes to enable you to record those traits For any questions regarding your Completeness of Performance Report, contact Boyd Gudex at Southern Beef Technology Services (SBTS) at (02) 6773 1711 or boyd@sbts.une.edu.au.
