Linear Description
A tool for better estimation of the inheritance of exterior and movement characteristics
Since 2010, the offspring of young and outcross stallions from the first two breeding years have been described linearly by the Holsteiner Verband.
After a test run, also mares (studbook entry and performance test) and young stallions (preselection for licensing) are described linearly.
The linear description of mares and stallions is possible by the funding as part of the EIP project.
The offspring profiles of the stallions created from the linear data of the foals can now be found directly in detailed views of the Holstein stallions under the point Offspring as well as in the online application Holsteiner Pedigrees.
