      abstract = {Genetic information is valuable to livestock producers  because its incorporation into their selection decisions  results in improved animals. Hedonic models have been  developed to value bulls' genetic traits to form a pricing  mechanism for semen (Schroeder et al.; Richards and  Jeffrey). Harris and Freeman estimated the economic weights  of genetic traits that maximize producer income. These  examples are representative of studies which valued genetic  traits, but we are not aware of any research valuing the  information on the underlying genetic traits.},
