Across-breed benchmarks

The percentiles are based on animals born between 2019 and 2021, whose EBVs have an accuracy that reaches the trait publication threshold (accuracy publication thresholds are listed alongside our trait definitions). They will be moved up a year on an annual basis each April.

You can also look at performance within a single breed by looking at our within-breed benchmark tables.
