Genetic improvement achieved by the Angus breed was examined to demonstrate the effectiveness of the beef genetic delivery pipeline in Australia.  This pipeline revolves around effective partnerships across the beef value chain, and has resulted in superior rates of genetic improvement for key economic traits relative to published trends achieved for the Angus breed in other countries. The accumulated present value of returns in the temperate Australian beef industry resulting from the genetic improvement achieved in Angus to 2014 was estimated to be $1.621 billion, projected to increase to $2.514 billion in 2024.
