Analogously, the breeding value u ij of progeny from a mating between bull i and cow j was predicted as: u ^ ij = ∑ k [ P r ijk (AA ) 2 - 2 p k α ^ k + P r ijk (Aa ) 1 - 2 p k α ^ k + P r ijk (aa ) - 2 p k α ^ k ], where α ^ k = a ^ k + d ^ k q k - p k. Matings can be selected on u ^ to maximize additive genetic gain or on g ^ to maximize total genetic superiority.
