Abstract
Previous studies have indicated genetic variation in traits describing the overall satisfaction of a farmer with daughters of a particular sire (Cue et al., 1996; Visscher and Goddard, 1995). Such traits are useful in determining cow-level factors contributing to overall farmer satisfaction as well as providing supplementary information in sire selection. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether genetic variation in a subjectively scored trait reflecting farmer satisfaction existed in Ireland and to attempt to elucidate the factors contributing to farmer satisfaction.
