Genetics and livestock breeding in the UK: Co-constructing technologies and heterogeneous biosocial collectivities

Cattle and sheep breeders in the UK and elsewhere are increasingly being encouraged to use a variety of genetic technologies to help them make breeding decisions. The technology of particular interest here is ‘classical’ statistical genetics, which use a series of measurements taken from animals’ bo...
