Thus it is most likely that male breeding animals are very suitable for breeding if their closely related female animals have good animal-related parameters, i.e. they are very good milk producers, they produce milk of high quality, and they are big, strong and healthy. Further, each of the animal owners may receive information of good male breeding animals, i.e. male breeding animals having high breeding values, in the neighborhood of that owner. Then, the animal owner that wants his/her female animals to become pregnant may move his/her female animals to a neighbor with a male breeding animal having a high breeding value.
