CowSync Guide › My Herd & genetics

Leaderboard

See the breed's top animals by any trait, rank your own herd, or build a custom ranking.

Leaderboard

The Leaderboard lists the top Wagyu and Akaushi animals by breeding value, across the whole breed or just your herd. Use it to scout sires, see where your animals stand, or find animals that hit several traits at once. Open it from Research → Leaderboard.

The Leaderboard
The registry buttons and ⚙ Custom Ranking at the top left, Whole Breed / My Herd at the top right, then the trait filters and the table. Until rankings load or if nothing fits your filters, the table says No animals match this filter.

Choosing what to rank

  1. Pick the registry: American (EPD), Australian (WBV) or Akaushi (EPD).
  2. Pick Whole Breed or My Herd. In My Herd you can also turn on Predicted to include predicted calves you've saved.
  3. Pick a trait or index to rank by. They're grouped by category.
  4. Or click ⚙ Custom Ranking: drag a slider from 0 to 10 for each trait to say how much it matters. "Drag a trait above 0 to start ranking." Reset all sets them back to 0.
