Above the 0 line (X axis) selects for more positive numbers and below the line selects for more negative numbers.
For some traits (e.g. growth), a positive response is desirable and for others (e.g. days to calving), a negative response is desirable.

This index is primarily driven by getting live calves on the ground, and producing an early maturing prime animal with
added carcase traits for improved carcase yield and marbling with no direct selection for maternal traits. DC days -9.5 -8.0 -7.2 -6.7 -6.2 -5.8 -5.5 -5.2 -4.9 -4.6 -4.3 -4.0 -3.7 -3.4 -3.1 -2.8 -2.3 -1.9 -1.2 -0.1 +2.1

NB. It is important point to be aware that while no emphasis has been placed on some traits, for example May 2021 TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation - Percentile Bands for all 2019 born animals Use this table as a guide to compare individual animals with the current genetic level of the breed SS cm +4.2 +3.4 +3.0 +2.8
maternal traits in the HDT, they still may be selected for indirectly through positive or negative correlations with
other traits, as is the case with Days to Calving in the HDT. Milk +27 +24 +22 +21 +20 +19 +18 +18 +17 +17 +16 +16 +15 +14 +14 +13 +12 +12 +10 +9 +6
