The selection index is where you have to score your selected animal you are going to breed. You first choose 5 or 6 criteria which is important to you such as good temperament, long legs etc. You then merit score how good your animals are between 1 and 10. Then you weighting which is giving your criteria a score between 1 and 4, you score this on how important each criteria is to you if you want in the young offspring. You then times the merit score by the weighting score for each criteria and then add them all up and put the score over 150 which is the maximum score than can be giving. You then find the percentage of that.
