If tool doesn't work well across breeds, and not even red and black angus, I can imagine it not working in relatively closebred out cross angus. How do you describe the population where it works?

Just because you can imagine something, doesn't mean it is reality. See Deming quote.

Genomic prediction works well in breed-specific predictions.

We have data showing that genomic predictions can work in multiple-breed populations.

Scientific jargon warning:
Genomic predictions struggle across breeds due to many reasons, some of which likely include the more rapid break down of linkage disequilibrium in multiple-breed data sets (limited haplotype sharing across breeds especially at longer physical distances) and the fact the genetic interactions (epistasis) become more important across breeds.
End of scientific jargon.

You just described how it might work in different angus lines

No need for the faith versus reality reference. It interferes with your message. Really it just says anyone who I cant understand or disagree with is an idiot. It may seem clever but it undermines your effectiveness.

No, it is meant to highlight that you make many claims without data. You are claiming that genomic prediction does not work across Angus lines. Where is the data?

The divergence between Angus lines is not strong enough to cause problems for genomic prediction. The Angus breed is basically a single population (panmictic, see supplement of http://bmcgenomics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1471-2164-13-606). That is why we get strong correlations between genomic predictions and breeding values (see http://blog.steakgenomics.org/2016/03/angus-announces-routine-calibration-of.html).

I guess I had a question not a claim.

Really all I am saying is that germplasm diversity is disappearing and genomics is speeding that up. It may be gone before you find out you may need it.

We already need it.

I apologize for my misunderstanding.
