<p>BreedObject is the software used to formalise breeding objectives and create the selection
indexes produced by BREEDPLAN. The BreedObject breeding objectives and selection indexes
allow cattle producers to identify the most profitable cattle genetics for the beef production system
modelled by each selection index. Since the release of the latest version (6.2) of the BreedObject
software, eight Australian beef cattle breed organisations have implemented 29 new or revised
selection indexes. This paper discusses the process by which the selection indexes were developed
in conjunction with the relevant breed societies, summarises the EBV emphases applied in these
new selection indexes, and discusses the breeder feedback and implications of the selection indexes
in the greater industry.</p>
