Embryo lines for producing bulls, part III
Article Abstract:
The model was developed to evaluate the feasibility of producing bull lines from embryos for commercial beef production. With the available genetic data, bulls of superior qualities may be used in breeding and producing progeny of high market value and may be flexible to suit various production environments. The bull model's optimum economic value was determined with respect to its marketing age and projected 5-year progeny production.

Economic evaluation of steer production, part II
Article Abstract:
A bioeconomic model was developed to evaluate the commercial potential of embryo transfer in steer production with consideration of growth and pregnancy rates and dystocia prevalence. It was recommended that proper matching embryo geneticresources to appropriate physical and economic requirement would result in optimal returns.

Description of a biological model for steer production, part I
Article Abstract:
A biological model was developed to evaluate a commerciallyrewarding steer production with effcient usage of embryo cloning and transfer with respect to its genetic merits and nutritional effects from implantation tomarketing. The model was seen to be most applicable to beef producers with optimal economic returns.
