Health and Fitness traits such as Somatic Cell Score, Daughter Pregnancy Rate, Productive Life, etc are used in the mating calculation. They are specifically used in our conformation formula, Durability. This formula is designed to specifically emphasize the health and fitness traits to develop a longevity cow with minimal health concerns that gets breed back easily.
