(ii) Progeny obtained from such mating are evaluated and assessed for the desirable traits.
(iii) Again, the superior males and females are identified from the progeny.
(iv) It should be kept in mind that a superior cow or buffalo is that which gives more milk per lactation. Similarly, a superior bull is that which gives rise to superior progeny as compared to those of other bulls.
